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 I’ll get warmed up with nine Fungoes … 1. How low can the Cardinals go? And I’m talking about the number of fans who actually are seated at Busch Stadium for home games. There were fewer than 12,000 patrons in the house for Tuesday’s 7-5 loss to the...
BIRD BYTES Quick Pregame Read! Bernie Bits style! 1. Going into Tuesday’s game with the Padres, the Cardinals have a 22-26 record since the start of July. And though the St. Louis offense usually gets most of the blame for lack of success, we shouldn’t overlook the...
