THE REDBIRD REVIEW Can we trust the Cardinals? Honestly, I’m not sure. Their season has been a sequence of ups and downs. They lost 24 of their first 34 games, only to win 11 of the next 14, and then stalling through a 3-7 road trip to Cincinnati and Cleveland. This...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Greetings. I hope you’re getting the grills ready for some action during this long Memorial Day Weekend. We’re keeping it simple in our backyard. Nothing fancy. Cheeseburger sliders, hot dogs, Italian sausage, bratwurst, and boneless, skinless...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Note from Bernie: When the Cardinals play a day game on a weekday, I almost always file the Review before the first pitch. I wasn’t able to do that today, Thursday, because of family-related obligations. So I’m writing a shorter version of the...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW THINGS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW: The Cardinals blasted the Brewers 18-1 Monday night in a fireworks show highlighted by four St. Louis homers, 16 hits and Jack Flaherty’s best start since late in the 2019 season. With their fourth straight triumph the...
