somebody deleted my response.he he

fire la russa and get a younger manger with people skills..

How do you say that Rolen was a bad deal?? Because he got hurt? Happens doesnt it? What if you were the best prospect that just got hired for a job and you got hurt soon thereafter? They would say your a waste of space. Rolen has put up good numbers at the plate, but has suffered of late, because of ailing problems from his shoulder injury. But I would much rather count on the other 7 or 8 guys in the lineup to give superior offense and have an all-star defensive 3rd baseman. He has had some big hits this season as well that have either won the game or gave us a better chance at winning. I much rather would see encarnacion gone because of his high strikout rate and his poor defensive caliber. It is a blessing to see Ankiel out in his positon. Kennedy was a bad choice. Why doesn't anyone mention him?

Then you bring up lasrussa. One of the most sucessuful managers and you want to ditch him? Why because his stlye is different than yours while you sit in your living room watching the game thinking you can do better. I admit some things he does are strange and unorthodox, but he does what he can to give the team a better chance of winning. It has worked several times lately having the pitcher bat eighth. Didn;t give up any runs when Spezio and Miles pithed. If he had a losing record and would never reach the playoff or the world series, then yes. But you expect that your team reaches the playoffs and and world series every year and the one time they don't you want the manager gone. If you didn't know the cardinals have one of the most frequent visits to the playoffs.

I can't see Edmonds leave the cardinals. He's a great player and he's the best center fielder I've ever seen.. And rolen he is a great third basemen. As it goes for LaRussa I don't care if he gets fired or not.

Are you nuts? Rolen was and still is an All-Star caliber player. Edmonds is one of the greatest defensive outfielders of all time. How can you even consider the trades for these guys to be bad trades? Larussa may not be the best manager, but who else is there?

How do you compare Scott Rolen to David Wright, BA305 HR22 13ER IN 205ATT..Rameiz who is not an allstar BA 313 HR 16 ERR 5/175 ATT..Nevermind Chipper Jones, OR Cabrerra

SCOTT ROLEN, BA-261 HR-7 ERR-7 IN205 ATT

HOW DO YOU FIGURE SCOTT ROLEN IS AN ALLSTAR??

la russa sux get him out of there asap!!! What happened to the cards who used to win? After the world series last year did they slack off like a teen who just aced a test?
