The MLB Trade Deadline is coming soon. Only three more nights of sleep, and then it’s here. The dealing frenzy ends at 3 p.m. STL time on Friday afternoon. This is kind of like a baseball Christmas. What marvelous gifts will the Santa-like general manager place around...
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....
The Cardinals had a losing weekend in Cincinnati, dropping two winnable games before springing back for a 10-6 victory Sunday. There are so many ways to look at this: They lost a series to the Reds. That’s bad. That’s awful because the Reds didn’t have...
Happy Friday and welcome to The Redbird Review. Turn on the air conditioning, put ice and your favorite liquid in a glass, and listen to Miles Davis. (I’m starting with Kind of Blue.) That should help keep ya cool on a hot St. Louis weekend in the summertime. Let’s...

As advertised earlier, here’s my list of “Things To Do” for the Cardinals if they’re serious about making an unexpected run for first place in the NL Central or rising up to pluck an NL Wild Card spot. This isn’t supposed to be an encyclopedia entry. You all know...
At the All-Star break the Cardinals are resting with a .489 winning percentage that ranks 20th in the majors and tied for 9th in the NL. This is a time for resting, yes. That’s why it’s called the All-Star break. But I think the word “restless” is a more...
