THE REDBIRD REVIEW I want to go with something positive today, and it’s not because I’m being a softy, or a Cardinals’ apologist, or scanning the cloudy sky for a ray of hope. The Cards are 74-72, and won’t be in the postseason tournament, and the ownership and...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW I’ll be getting to Luken Baker a little later in the column … THE LATE-SEASON OVERVIEW: The Cardinals are confounding. And interesting. And stubborn. Just when we thought this team was burnt pie for the season, the Redbirds have played...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Greetings. In the latest Review, I’ll be addressing a range of topics that include Michael Siani, Paul Goldschmidt, Matthew Liberatore, Steven Matz, Sonny Gray, and more. ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT: The Cardinals outlasted the Brewers for a 7-4 victory...

WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S Cardinals fans enjoy making the trek to Kansas City when the Redbirds visit the other side of the state. Since 2016, the Cardinals have thanked their caravan by winning 15 of 20 games from the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The latest KC invasion...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW For at least one night, the Cardinals emerged from their stupor. They won a ballgame, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 Tuesday at Busch Stadium. It was a twos-day Tuesday, with the teams combining for three two-run homers. Sorry for my attempt to be...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW After losing two of three games to the Pirates, the Cardinals migrated home with a 3-3 record on their trip to Atlanta and Pittsburgh. Won a series. Lost a series. And so it goes. How good are the Cardinals? I think it depends on your personal...
