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 Greetings. In the latest Review, I’ll be addressing a range of topics that include Michael Siani, Paul Goldschmidt, Matthew Liberatore, Steven Matz, Sonny Gray, and more. ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT: The Cardinals outlasted the Brewers for a 7-4 victory...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW After getting socked and bopped 9-3 by the Brewers on Monday, the Cardinals now have a 1.0 percent chance to qualify for the postseason. The Cards are 5 and ½ games out of the third wild-card spot with three teams ahead of them and only 24 games...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW The standings math is grim, but I don’t want to totally eliminate the Cardinals from playoff contention just yet. I’m not being naive here. I just respect the process. Cue up Lenny Kravitz: It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over. I didn’t...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Bases loaded, one out, Cardinals down by a run, with Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Gorman coming up. And you know what happened next – because of course it did. Goldy, strikeout. Gorman, strikeout. Goodnight from Busch Stadium. On the same day the...
