Cardinals manager Tony La Russa evidently is through discussing Thursday's DUI arrest. Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight -- a close friend -- accompanied him to today's game at Tradition Field and La Russa did not entertain questions on the subject. When a reporter asked if Knight "kidded" him about falling asleep at the wheel, La Russa snapped, "Why don't you go ask him?" The Cards manager probably hoped the cantankerous Knight would punch the reporter in the face. But the exchange continued, with La Russa pointing toward the Mets dugout and saying, "Why don't you go stand over there." Perhaps a veiled reference to the New York media. Hey, we like scandalous behavior as much as the next guy. Does that make us bad people?

Thin skinned, like his juiced up first baseman. Funny, he can't handle a bit of heat from his homers. Instead of going to law school, T La should have watched Baretta. The Time, as it were, is at hand.
La Russa is on record as being a humorless guy, so why anybody would expect him to deprecate himself after such a rediculous f***up is beyond me.
Maybe his marriage is falling apart. Maybe he made some bad investments with Pete Rose. Having that idiot Bobby Knight as a "friend" should be enough of a warning sign. Who knows, and who cares--Tony's a Cardinal, fer cryin' out loud. Screw 'im.
Tony LaRussa is a horse's ass. And Nick, you're right: I've long suspected Albert Pujols of being 'roided up. How'd this joker come out of nowhere to hit like the Incredible Hulk?
Tony LaRussa is a cat lover.
They are truly cute and cuddly.
But I can't help seeing Tony as an old man with 359 cats living in his house. All of those felines occasionally missing the litterbox or crapping in the plants where Tony can't find them. The stench. So I only hope that Tony LaRussa stops drinking before he just sadly mistakes a kitty turd for a raisinette while watching the nature channel.
Albert Pujols has not been linked to steroids. He has been linked to a trainer who distibuted Human Growth Hormones. This trainer also was linked to Jason Grimsley.
To this point Albert has denied all allegations despite the fact that there is no test that is accepted to detect HGH for MLB and the Players Union.
If you were Tony LaRussa you would be drinking too.
Have you seen his starting staff for 2007?
Lets review:
1)Chris Carpenter
2) Kip Wells
3) Anthony Reyes
4)Adam Wainright
5)Braden Looper
My God, other than Carp and Wainright it's just really a full pack of cigarettes and a six pack every night.
Pass the ant acid tablets.
Anonymous: Need anyone be linked to illegal performance enhancers to be using them? Was Guillermo Mota linked? What about Matt Lawton?
The fans that applauded Tony LaRussa the next day ought to be ASHAMED of themselves. Someone gets a DUI, and gets applauded! He could've killed an innocent person, like one of their kids. Another example of how disillusioned this country is.
