THE REDBIRD REVIEW Greetings. The Cardinals have reached 40-game mark, which puts them about 25 percent into their full-season schedule. How are they doing? You don’t need me to tell you, that’s for sure. We’ve all been watching the same games. And fans are not happy....
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals reached a new low over the weekend, losing two of three games to the Chicago White Sox, a hapless team that’s tied for the worst record in the majors this season. Shame on the home team. At this point, nothing should surprise us about...
