Tony LaRussa is losing his touch


I note that Tony LaRussa was ejected in the Cardinals loss to the Braves last night. My eyes popped out a bit when I saw that this was LaRussa's first ejection of the year.

Tony?!

One ejection? All year?!

Where is the competitive fire? I know you are a baseball guru and all but part of managing is getting thrown out. You are not above that, you know.

Were the umpires perfect all year?

There were no egregious blown calls in 143 games?

There wasn't one umpire that you did not want to work over in a lopsided game?

I guess when you have Pujols, you don't have to do that stuff. Makes the job easier. That's the best I can come up with. A woefully inadequate explanation, I know.

Across the diamond, Bobby Cox shakes his head and makes a note to himself to have a little talk with Tony after the season. Manager to manager, you know.
