Memo to Tony La Larussa:

Re: 2007 MLB All-Star game

If you have a chance to win the game in the 9th inning with one out left feel free to use who might be the best overall hitter in major league baseball.

Oh yeah, he is your player. He might appreciate the chance.

Dumb ass.

What a bad manager.


Save his player for what? 75 wins and third place? Pujols better get rested up for the stretch run. :clap:

Save his player? I am sure the one AB would hurt the cards chances at making a run in September.

I am sure if the Cards were in 1st place La Russa would have used Pujols for most of the game.

Well, he used every Brewer and played the two Cubs extensively, definitely more than they deserved. And LaRussa is the type of person that thinks about this sort of thing.

Well, if LaRussa hadn't done that we'd have nothing to talk about. Even an "exciting" finish doesn't even make the ASG exciting. I was more interested in the Microsoft E3 Press conference.

I'd keep your mouth shut until the Brewers can be above .500 for the first time in 74 years.

He already played, and was substituted for Mike Lowell.

Well they are right now, so I can talk as much as I want. :D Oh, and it's been 25 years, not 74.

Aaron Rowand bats over Albert Pujols with 2 outs, bottom of 9th and the bases loaded.

La Russa is a idiot.

i'd probably feel the same way if no one gave a crap about my team, which only sent one player, especially one that doesn't deserve to be there
