Bernie Bits: Loyalty To Marmol, Hello Oskar, Welcome Perunovich, Bad Basketball In CoMo, Jerrah Fibs + More
BERNIE BITS 1) I find it interesting that all but one coach from Mike Shildt’s staff were committed to staying on and working with new manager Oli Marmol. True, multiple coaches were under contract for 2022 including pitching coach Mike Maddux and batting coach Jeff...
Bernie’s Rolling Four Lines: The Blues Were 5-0 Early. And Then The Inevitable Downturn Arrived.
After a fast start, the Blues are slumping. Or are they? Let’s Roll Four Lines: FIRST LINE: The Blues have lost three straight games, coming up short against Nashville, Carolina and Edmonton. All three were one-goal losses, and the Nashville skirmish spilled into...
BERNIE BITS: Blues, NFL Expansion Gossip, Pitching Search, Paul DeJong, Coach Drink, Albert Pujols, + More
BERNIE BITS Welcome to my place. I call it "The Lair." Birthplace of The Bits. Quite historical. 1) Blues Lose To Nashville in OT, 4-3: Sorry, but you can’t take a 2-0 lead at home and fail to win the game. At least the Blues collected a point, but this should have...
Bernie’s Rolling Four Lines: Jordan Binnington Steals Another Game, Turns Winnipeg Into Binnipeg.
After a blah performance in a 4-1 loss at Anaheim, the Blues went to Winnipeg and found a way to win (3-2) in a game settled by a shootout. No, not the O.K. Corral kind of shootout. The Blues spent most of Tuesday evening in a bewildered state, with the Jets flying...

Bernie’s Rolling Four Lines: Weird Game, Officials Stink, Blues Outplayed, Lose To Avs.
The Blues lost a game, and the city weeps today. Not really, but it ain’t much fun to lose to the Colorado Avalanche. The final score Thursday night at Enterprise Center was 4-3. “In life, the monsters win.” -- George R R Martin Damn right. But at least the Blues are...
Bernie’s Rolling Four Lines: The Mojo’s Rising For Vladimir Tarasenko, Man Of The People.
The Blues are off to a 5-0 start in the new campaign. So many players are performing at a high level, this would be like having Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf, Robert Johnson and John Lee Hooker on stage at the same time. It’s entertaining as could be. OK,...
