    Never Piss Off Albert!

    Ever since LaRussa foolishly kept Pujols on the bench in the 9th inning with bases loaded in the ASG, Pujols now has four homeruns in three games. Pujols was in a 23 games homerun drought before his first came on July 13th. Watch for him to start carrying the Cards back into contention.

    Has Anyone Ever Thought Maybe That Is Why Larussa Did That?

    I Kinda Did. And Maybe Larussa Didn't Want To Take Any Chances Of Fat Albert Getting Hurt?



    Hhhhhhmmmmm..... Points To Ponder?

    Oh, so now we know that benching Pujols was La Russa's elaborate plan to get Pujols out of his slump.

    I find the New Coke conspiracy to be more convincing.

    Nah, Just Trying To Get People All Worked Up. Hahahaha.


    Larussa Always Does Goofy Things. He Is Unpredictable And That Is What Makes Him A Great Manager.

    LaRussa is not a "great" manager by any means.

    you dont think so? hhhmmmm.... interesting.


    I think he does a good job. He seems to know when to pull the right strings. And he won the W.S. last year, and we all know that they were not the best team. He needs some credit for that, IMO.

    LaRussa has had five teams go to the WS and won two. Those A's teams should have had three in a row. He is a good regular season manager about 80% of the time and not a very good post season manager. He mismanages the bullpen and doesn't do the samll things. As far as the regular season goes, Bobby Cox and LaRussa share the same mind.

    Larussa blows as a manager. He fails to make the right choices. Yes he won a world series, but come on look at this season! Has the booze screwed with him? This club in no way should be where there at in the standings. Rolen, edmonds even Pujols are not where they were a year ago numbers wise. Pujols needs to be the team leader and put the team on his back.. Just like one of the greatest CF's of all time Kirby Puckett. Two world series rings, why he carried the club. Someone needs to step up on the Cardinals!

    Being a huge Pujols and Cardinal fan i was very upset Larussa didn't play Pujols but now i'm kinda happy because he is on a tea, so maybe it was the spark he needed to catch fire with the bat.

    Look at Kennedy's numbers. He has way too much playing time!
