Welcome to The Redbird Review After being swept by the Atlanta Braves in a three-game series at Busch Stadium, the Cardinals are 30-40 since May 14. And that is really bad, my friends. Not that you needed me to tell you that. Here are MLB’s four worst winning...
July is in the books, and the Cardinals had a winning month. That’s encouraging, but their record, 12-11, was disappointing. A few more July wins, and the Cards would be in better shape in the standings. The Cardinals won their first game in August, bopping the Twins...
The Cardinals are off today. Not me. I type for you! Time to hit some Fungoes … 1) Lousy weekend in Cincinnati. Cardinals lose two out of three. They still traul Milwaukee in the NL Central by 8 games. Wait, you knew that already. I’m off to a terrible start....
Happy Friday and welcome to The Redbird Review. Turn on the air conditioning, put ice and your favorite liquid in a glass, and listen to Miles Davis. (I’m starting with Kind of Blue.) That should help keep ya cool on a hot St. Louis weekend in the summertime. Let’s...

Good morning. Here’s the second part of my look at a potential upturn for an ineffectual and disappointing St. Louis offense over the final 72 regular-season games. In Part One, I scanned Paul DeJong’s hitting profile to see if there’s a basis for second-half...
Welcome To The Redbird Review. THE LOOK OF THINGS: After losing 5-2 at San Francisco on Wednesday night, the fourth-place Cardinals walk into this off day with a 43-45 record, 9.0 games behind the division-leading Brewers in the NL Central. Keep an eye on Cincinnati;...
Welcome To The Redbird Review I’m not being sarcastic when I say this, but let’s give a little credit to shortstop Paul DeJong for thinking and getting deep when asked about the team’s pallid offense. After Thursday’s somber 5-2 loss at Colorado, Pauly D went Zen on...
