THE REDBIRD REVIEW The small-market, big-brained Milwaukee Brewers did it again, overcoming the odds and the expectations and wealthier franchises to win the NL Central title. Fans in St. Louis should be used to this by now. I’ve written about this before and I’m...
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...
