THE REDBIRD REVIEW I have something to look forward to, and I think I speak for many of you. Here goes: there are only 18 more games to go on the schedule, and then we are free. We will not have to watch this appallingly inferior St. Louis Cardinals offense...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW I was pleased to see the reports of Triple A Memphis infielder Thomas Saggese being promoted by the Cardinals. Saggese entered the season as the Cardinals’ No. 3 prospect according to the respected baseball analyst R.J. Anderson of CBS Sports....
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals are mystifying. They really are. After slogging to a miserable 5-12 record in their first 17 games of August to severely damage their wild-card chances, the Redbirds are suddenly stacking wins against some of the best teams in the...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW I don’t think Cardinals manager Oli Marmol wants to get fired, or is trying to get sacked. But in a word, this plan he’s worked up for Jordan Walker is cockamamie. On Aug. 12, when the second-year right fielder was recalled after a long stay in the...
