THE REDBIRD REVIEW Greetings! As you know by now, the Cardinals won their three-game series against Milwaukee. I give this relatively minor success a thumbs-up, especially since the Redbirds dropped the opener and had to take two consecutive games from the Brewers....
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Wednesday evening at Busch Stadium, the St. Louis Cardinals competed with urgency and tenacity in a way that made them endearing and fun to watch. And the effort pushed them to outlast the first-place Brewers for a 10-6 victory in 10 innings....
