The cleat marks in Carpenter's back are probably feeling a little better today.

One extra note about the Cardinals World Series win, they did not back into this win. They beat the best three teams possible. That says a lot about their character and resilience.

I just read online that Tony LaRussa retired today. Is that true?

Barry- I saw that too, I don't remember hearing that he was thinking of retiring.

Apparently it is true I'm not sure who they'll get to replace him. He will definitely be missed. It's a great way for him to end his career though.

I guess he was afraid if he managed much longer his hair would start to go gray.

Love him or hate him, he accomplished a lot. Rumored successors? Oquendo or Francona?

Saw this on another board and thought it was funny:

La Russa was asked why he put Lance Berkman in left field and Allen Craig in right field for Game 3 on Sunday night. His answer:

“It’s my tribute to Moneyball. I’m not a big Moneyball fan. I have this little place, don’t have a big place. So what we do is we take the square footage between the right field line and center field and the square footage and from left field to center field, divide that by pi and we multiply it by bulls***, and then we pick the dugout. The field that’s closest to the dugout and that’s where Lance plays.”
