Now that the Cardinals have zoomed into first place in the NL Central, they should be energized and happy. But this is no time to back down. A two-game lead over the Brewers is not a 12-game lead over the Brewers. The Crew is in a bad way right now, having lost six of...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Dodgers put the Cardinals through a spell of cruel and unusual punishment on Wednesday night at Busch Stadium, scoring seven runs in the final three innings to overcome a six-run deficit to pull off a stunning 7-6 victory that crushed the home...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Give the Cardinals credit for pulling themselves out of a pit to salvage some respect at the end of a savage 11-game stretch against the Phillies and Braves. After getting kicked around to go 1-5 in the first six encounters, the Cardinals showed...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals were ambushed again on Tuesday night, getting shoved into a 5-1 deficit after one inning of play in Atlanta. There would be no recovery, no comeback, no hope. Final score: 7-1. And the Tuesday loss was similar to Monday’s loss when the...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW Great win by the Cardinals on Monday night. I don’t care that they got it done against a 24-35 Pirates team that entered the series with a six-game losing streak. You’re not supposed to come up with a 7-5 victory after trailing 5-0 after 5 and ½...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Over the weekend The Cardinals won a series and moved into first place. That’s good. The Cards also botched a chance to sweep the Reds in a loss that enabled Milwaukee to pick up a game in the NL Central standings. That’s disappointing. The...
