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....
WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S After getting a two-game break from his severe slump and troubling season, Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt returned to the lineup Friday and went 0 for 4 in the team’s depressing 11-2 loss at Milwaukee. The box-score blank left Goldy...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals took it on the noggin from the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night. The final score was 7-1. The verdict: the Cardinals stink, and the court adamantly rejects any appeal of our ruling. Offensively the Cardinals are Bob Uecker, a .200...
