BIRD BYTES 1. In his last five games for Triple A Memphis, Nolan Gorman has larruped four home runs, batted .333, and slugged 1.000. He also walked three times and struck out only twice in the five games. 2. Gorman has made progress, striking out only 11 times in 67...
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...
