Time to shuffle the Cards, fire LaRussa.

[Fred Garvin]

First time I've ever seen it in a national column.

[JWB]

Is Mike Celizic In The Faction?

[Razzy]

I thought it was a very good and accurate column. TLR has the longest managerial tenure of anyone else but Bobby Cox, who has won, what, 10 straight division titles?

Hopefully he is gone after this year.

All hail Mike Celizic

The Cardinals management need to shuffle the tits off that queen and dump him...

[Bleacher Creature]

Damn good article!!!

It's kind of like paying Dale Earnhardt Jr. to drive a school bus.

[Brentwoodcat]

A former Card told me the players are ready to "revolt on his ass" but ownership still loves him.

[Neutered Cat]

That last part is not suprising at all.

Bad analogy. A team with Pujolz, Renteria, Edmonds, Rolen, Morris and Isringhausen is no schoolbus. LaRussa is no Dale Earnhardt Jr.---not enough championships. It's more like paying Amelia Earhardt to pilot a Cessna.

Just wait until the end of the year and he'll be gone...

no way will the owners fire him.

I've lived here all my life and I really think that StL might be a funny little town.

A friend made the case to me tonight that maybe TLR wasn't exactly brought here to be a WS winning manager, but more cos he was a WS manager. Like, Tony Pena never would have been brought here before, but now that he has had more success than expected in KC, he could be accepted here.

It's managers like Sciosia who make me love this game. I am still in awe of his 2002 team. I mean, come on. And the thing I took away from that conversation was that I shouldn't expect anything like Sciosia for a long time here.

How can you not respect a guy who can work the word lugubrious into a sentence? That's a hell of a thing to be calling somebody, ummm, isn't it?

Meh.

Using big words isn't synonymous with good writing.

I liked this line: He is, in fact, the all-time wins leader among vegetarian-lawyer-animal-rights activists. If they would fire him this morning on the eve of the home opener it would be OK with me.
