WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S Warning: I’m in a salty mood. What a gross 10-8 loss by the Cardinals to the Nationals on Friday night. The Cards scored eight runs but were terrible in too many other ways. And they flat-out gave away a game for a variety of annoying...
WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S The Cardinals (as you know) split a doubleheader in Atlanta on Saturday. Not to be greedy here, but the visitors should have won both games. In the early game, the Redbirds let a 2-0 slip away to lose 3-2 in 10 innings. At least they rebounded for...
