    Disgusted me as a fan of a rival, but as much as I dislike(d) him, dude knew how to get a whole lot outta his players.

    HOF'er, but doesn't mean I have to like him

    If I were in his shoes I would retire, too. It will be impossible to top the run his team made the past several months. The man is the definition of a Hall of Fame manager. I won't miss him but I will always appreciate what he accomplished.

    I wonder how this effects Pujols.

    And most Cardinal fans I know are celebrating this, almost as much as they are celebrating their Championship.

    Wonder what, if anything, this will mean for Pujols?

    Lots of Cardinals fans did not like him at all and it will be interesting to see if that tune changes pretty quickly next season.

    Familiarity breeds contempt, I'm sure. Cards fans will be emptying the seats soon enough, once the winning slows down. Look at August, their crowds were dwindling even then. "Best fans in baseball."

    Looking forward to the shorter games (timewise) against the Cards.

    If so, they shouldn't be. I was never a fan of LaRussa but he was a Hall of Fame manager. My gosh, he ranks third on the all time wins list, and would have passed John McGraw for second had he returned next year, and really Connie Mack is only in first place because he was also the A's owner.

    Good riddance.

    Doesn't change anything... Pujols calls his own hit-and-run's.
    I have a love-hate relationship with Albert Pujols. Mostly hate.

    Duncan is almost certain to leave then too, right? Now with La Russa gone and his wife still dealing with her health issues.
