Cueto 7 game suspension

[757690]

sorry, Stelmacki.. apparently the local basement blog trumps ESPN.

Who knew?

I trust local media far more than ESPN. They have a huge bias towards teams with big fan bases. Always have, and they get stories wrong all the time.

I trust the Post Dispatch or anyone on KMOX much more than I trust ESPN.

over Whitey? lets not get crazy..

Indeed. It was done in the Post and on several local radio stations. I love both guys, but Tony's done more longer.

I am glad you feel that way. Nothing wrong how you feel about him. And I believe you when you say most Cardinal fans you know love Tony.

I used to live in Cardinal country, so I have many Cardinal friends fans. All of them love that Tony made their team a winner, but are embarrassed by his antics, especially of late. Three of them actually told me that they hope the Cards don't make the Playoffs, just so that LaRussa doesn't come back.

I can only report on what I hear, since I am not in Cardinal country anymore.

BTW, Reds fans, especially this board, HATE Dusty Baker. They didn't pick him because of emotion, they picked him because they value integrity.

That's a huge crock. Your fanbase overwhelmingly values integrity. PLEASE. You're middle Americans, just as we are. You're no more holy, no better. Tony, for the most part, is a pretty good guy. He's uber intense, and the guy does nothing but win.

Dusty is NO worse than Tony.

Of course. As are the St. Louis newspapers. Just like Cincinnati papers are reporting what the Reds tell them.

good point.. why doesnt the reputable radio show journalist blogger tell ESPN LaRue was warming up pitchers? problem solved.

Yes, it's just a matter of what you believe. I believe Lance M.

OT: Wow, they were not kind to the Reds on Around the Horn just now. Plaschke was the only one who defended them.

[SuperFan]

ROFLMAO - 17 pages of *****ing and whining from something that all started because a Reds player, with fans who totally agree, complained that the Cardinals are *****es and whiners. Too damn funny!

And just FYI, LaRue isn't going on the DL but they've called up a catcher from AA to replace him for now.

I'm not overly enamored with LaRussa, but I don't hate him either. He does some things well and some things not so well like most managers. For the most part, he's won because he's managed a ton of talent. I think he gets more out of lesser players and manages the bullpen pretty well generally (though that probably falls more on Duncan). Double switching Allen Craig into the game in the 9th of Tuesday's game, and thus taking out Rasmus who is probably their best fielder, was one of the typical moves he makes that I just can't understand about him. I guess I just don't believe that different managers would make much of a difference in the long haul.

I am sorry, I did not mean to imply that Cardinal fans do not value integrity. It's just that it is easy to ignore a lack of integrity, or not see it, when the guy is on your side and winning.

Just like many Ohio State fans loved Woody Hayes, they ignored or didn't see his failings, because he was winning. The fans don't value integrity any more or less, they just can't see it, because their team is winning. Happens all the time. Not a reflection of the fans at all.

Again, I apologize if I insulted Cardinal fans, I can see how my comments sounded like that.

until I see video of Jason getting kicked by Cueto I am going to assume Jason got kicked on the bottom of pile.....as stated earlier, the video is all right there for all to see, why cant we see Ceuto's foot hitting someone in the face? Its because that someone was on the freaking ground for half the brawl right next to 30 pairs of metal spikes....his own teammates could have done it and we would never know.

Accepted.

I'm interested, though... What do you consider his indiscretions?

[757690]

They spin everything in favor of the big markets. That's where the money is. I used to run a small sports news website. We always ran positive spun stories on the Gators, because we made more money when we did.

Seriously? You are the only person I've seen who doesn't know Cueto was the one who kicked LaRue.
