La Russa blows his top after another loss

This is the team that TLR put together - forfeiting defense for offense - and the team currently has 4 batters UNDER .200 and one at .200, not counting pitchers, so yes he DOES HAVE TO ANSWER FOR IT!

While I am frustrated - it's the first week and it just happens that 1/2 the guys aren't hitting. Come on. All teams slide sometime - rather now than in September like last year.

"aren't hitting"????? Hell, some of them look like little leaguers at the plate.

Sorry but I stand by what I said. HE IS responsible and to throw a temper tantrum in front of the press the first week is absolutely ludicrous! Perhaps he should say to the press "Yes, we suck" and then take that tantrum to the clubhouse????

Well the lowly Cardinals just lost 2 out of 3 to the powerhouse Pirates and everyone knows that pitching has always been the Pirates strength so I don't see what the problem is.

I'm sorry, but I have to enjoy it while it lasts. Come June Pittsburgh will be in the basement digging holes like they usually are.

The only other part I disagree with - The media "repeated" questions about hitting. Ask a couple of times then move to something else. Like I said before - Talk about a possible systemic problem at the end of April - the drill him.

I just heard the entire thing and they repeated the question because the first question was answered in true Tony-fashion - a non-answer.

It's too early to panic.......Tony has a point. He's obviously frustrated, but let's wait until 10 or 15 games have been played before overreacting.

tony needs to retire....go practice law someplace....he's an old man and the game has passed him by.......

stargate---do you believe pujols is gonna hit at a .200 clip all year? That is what Tony is talking about, they have played SIX games!!! What team do you manage again? How many wins do you have? How many titles do you have?

I know its too early to judge the team. I know that, and the media's questions were probably unfair. But you also can't throw a temper tantrum at the podium. Be a man, and answer the question. No one wants to see you flip out.

managers flip out at the podium, it's not just Larussa. If the guy didn't show any emotion then I would be worried. Be a man...really? They were acting like kids asking the same question!!! Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

can't wait for this **** bag and his steriod pal to leave baseball

really? I have to spell doucheee bag like this to get past the monkeys? WOW.

Have another drink, Tony.

Honest question - do you see the team turning around in 2 weeks, Ten?
