Keith Law over at ESPN and Joe Sheehan carved up LaRussa today as well. Joe went as far as saying that LaRussa's phone excuse was "pure fabrication" for his mismanagement. Speaking of Anthony's mismanagement, high give for his decision to have Dotel issue a free pass to Nelson Cruz. Dotel has been murder on righties - 154/.198/.211 over 2011, while Cruz has a major righty split 243/.289/.459. Nothing like watching a guy you dislike more than pretty much any other in the game get outmanaged by guy who has relegated his best hitter over the last 3 months to the 8 hole.
What makes no sense to me about the whole thing, is that if Lynn wasn't available to pitch...wouldn't the bullpen coach be aware of that BEFORE the game?
There are some Cardinals fans that love LaRussa and some that absolutely can't stand him. I am somewhere in the middle. It wouldn't bother me if they brought him back and it wouldln't bother me if the didn't.
One thing is for sure, when I read who started this thead and I saw Keith Law's name mentioned in a post, I knew it would be negative. You Brew Crew fans really can't stand the Cardinals. They have been road blocks for you guys for years. I understand.
By the way, the blame for the Game 5 loss falls on the offense. When you leave 742 runners in scoring position and only score two runs, that is uncalled for.
That's funny, that article was written by Jeff Passan, the same guy that crucified Pujols for not talking to the media after game two. Then Pujols went out and got five hits next game. Must mean the Cardinals will have a great game tonight. Passan really seems bitter, wonder what the heck his problem is, that article reads like something Sherlock Holmes would write, the way he rehashes the clues in excruciatingly boring detail.

That is correct, it is a rivalry. Plus I never have like LaRusa. Just a weird guy. Not saying I am not weird. I like Favre for years shying a blind eye to antics. Really wish I could change my login name here.
