THE REDBIRD REVIEW FOR TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 2022 After being flattened by a lightning bolt to the jaw, the Cardinals have the opportunity to make an immediate recovery by defeating the Mets on Tuesday night at Busch Stadium. Really, that’s all they can do after being...
The Cardinals won six of 10 games on their three-town, 10-game road trip. Now, going 6-4 makes for a good winning percentage (.600.) I know and appreciate this. But that said, I’m a little greedy and I can’t shake this opinion: the Cardinals should have come away with...

Happy Opening Day. For a baseball fan, it’s a highly anticipated annual occasion that takes us forward into a new year – but also takes us back into history to all of the years we’ve loved the game. Our minds are full of memories of shared experiences at the ballpark....
