Redbird Droppings, looking at former Cardinals, Ivan Herrera, the 2024 draft, and more. After such a rough season, I needed to step away from the Cardinals. Too many things went wrong this years, and hearing the constant criticism of the team, front office, and ownership just really takes a toll. But I’m back with some…

What a week? The Cardinals get swept by the Tampa Bay Rays, but take 2 out of 3 against the Reds. Normally a 2-4 record would not be good for the standings; yet somehow the Cardinals ended up moving past the Brewers and taking first place. The Rays series was bad; they struggled to hit…

Another mixed bag this week, as the Cardinals went 1-3 against the Mets, then turned around and swept the Pirates in 3 games. While that is a winning road trip, the Mets series was very disappointing as they should have at least split with them after blowing an extra inning lead on Thursday. The Mets…

One thing you will hear out of half the Cardinals fanbase is the reminder that the 2011 Cardinals were 8.5 games back of the division and the Wild Card on September 1st. Unfortunately, it’s tough to catch lightening in bottle twice like that. The question is, is it possible? The 2021 Cardinals have played 132…
After winning the World Series in 2011, Tony LaRussa retired from baseball on a high note; it was his third championship as a manager (2 with the St. Louis Cardinals, 1 with the Oakland Athletics) and everyone knew he was headed for Cooperstown. He really didn’t have anything left to prove. It was the right…
