LaRussa's Back!

Tony LaRussa is back managing the Cardinals after missing the recent road trip with shingles. I don't know exactly what shingles are but I suspect LaRussa's shingles aren't related to the shingles on rooftops.
Anyway, he's back in fighting form, this time taking on Reds Hall of Fame announcer Marty Brennaman.
It seems Brennaman called Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter a "whiner and excuse maker" after Sunday's loss that dropped Carpenter to 1-3. Carpenter moaned about the condition of the mound, the light rain and of the lingering smoke from fireworks set off after a home run.
Brennaman also said the Cardinals might be "the most disliked team in baseball."
LaRussa shot back, "He earned the right to get into the Hall of Fame. And now he ought to keep earning that respect instead of abusing it."
I truly believe that LaRussa was simply sticking up for his player.
The Reds and Cardinals don't get along one bit and it is shaping up to be a fun summer between those teams in the NL Central.
Oh yeah, it's Brennaman's serve now.
