WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S All Hail Sonny Gray! What a rascal. What a pitcher. What a personality. What a wonderful addition to the St. Louis Cardinals. Gray is marvelous with his combination of excellent pitching, hardwired intensity, endearing eccentricity and...
WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S Today the Cardinals will go for a three-game sweep of the Mets at Citi Field. Scheduled first pitch is 12:40 p.m. STL time. If the Cardinals (13-14) can win on Sunday, they’ll have four consecutive victories and would upgrade themselves to a .500...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals are off today, and that’s necessary but disappointing, because I like watching this team play baseball. I don’t think I said that last season. Not much, anyway. Watching the 2023 Cardinals was a health problem for me. My blood pressure...
