Welcome to the Redbird Review… The Cardinals are making headway, but the pace is slow. They are 16-11 since June 28. They’ve won 12 of their last 20 games. They have a 9-6 record since the All-Star break. That’s positive. That’s progress. The second NL Wild Card spot...
The Cardinals had a promising start to their new beginning, winning five of their first seven games after their All-Star break. The Giants and Cubs came into Busch Stadium, and the Cardinals won both series. Let the good times roll. At that point the Cardinals were...
The Cardinals are off today. Not me. I type for you! Time to hit some Fungoes … 1) Lousy weekend in Cincinnati. Cardinals lose two out of three. They still traul Milwaukee in the NL Central by 8 games. Wait, you knew that already. I’m off to a terrible start....

BERNIE BITS The Cardinals. Oh, man. The 32-33 Cardinals. It’s bad. After being swept by the Cubs over the weekend at Wrigley Field, the Cardinals were dumped into fourth place in the NL Central. They’ve won two games in June. After being swallowed by Wrigley Field,...
