Note from Bernie: This column was written Wednesday morning, after the Cardinals scored one run while losing Tuesday’s game at Kansas City. The struggles on offense have become a running commentary for obvious reasons. But the Cardinals got busy on...
The Cardinals went 11-9 in April, ending the month with a three-game deficit in the NL Central. Here we are again, watching the Cardinals chase the first-place Milwaukee Brewers in the division standings. And while a winning record is nothing to toss into the...
