THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals are a .500 team and have a little more than a month to go to before finalizing their second consecutive disappointing season. This is more palatable than last season’s 71-91 mess, but that provides little consolation. And .500 is their...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW There’s some day baseball on the menu Thursday, with Cardinals and Padres playing their series finale at 1:15 p.m. The Redbirds can salvage a 2-2 series split by winning this one. Not that it will matter in the standings. The Cards (66-67) are seven...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW I’ll get warmed up with nine Fungoes … 1. How low can the Cardinals go? And I’m talking about the number of fans who actually are seated at Busch Stadium for home games. There were fewer than 12,000 patrons in the house for Tuesday’s 7-5 loss to the...
WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S Hello again. It was a sleepy Saturday morning for me, which I needed. But after drinking an extra coffee, and watching a little college football, I’m ready to write. SCOREBOARD: CARDINALS 6, TWINS 1 Let’s review … THE BASICS: Friday’s victory gave...

WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S Cardinals fans enjoy making the trek to Kansas City when the Redbirds visit the other side of the state. Since 2016, the Cardinals have thanked their caravan by winning 15 of 20 games from the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The latest KC invasion...
WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S The Cardinals were fortunate to leave Wrigley Field with a 5-4 win on Saturday. For the most part, the Redbirds took advantage of the windy city being the windy city and the Cubs being the Cubs. Balls that were hit into the tempested air befuddled...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Monday morning, I turned on the microphone to talk about Cardinals baseball with my friend Will Leitch in our weekly “Seeing Red” podcast. We’re both full of energy and opinions. It’s probably my favorite hour of the week. Will asked a good...
