Allstar weekend/ Death to LaRussa

Wow, that was probably the worse homerun derby ever! How many balls were hit into the Cove, like 2? The righties dominated even though they were at a disadvantage. Still, it was an incredibly boring event, nobody had any monster rounds or anything. Call me crazy, but I've always found the HR derby a little on the boring side. Watching the game is far more interesting than watching batting practice.

The AS game itself, was actually an excellent game, although I'm not pleased with the outcome. This game was by far the best all star game we've had in awhile. It was close the whole way (and didn't end in a tie), had brilliant pitching moments, brilliant hitting performances, and it even had a little controversy there at the end regarding LaRussa/Pujols.

Hooray, I found another item to add to my "Why I hate LaRussa" list. Think about it, why not pinch hit with Pujols? If you missed it, Let's relive the moment shall we?

The bases are Loaded in the 9th. Hardy is on 3rd. D. Lee is on 2nd. Hudson is on 1st.

Coming to the plate: Aaron Rowand.
Still sitting on the Bench: Hurricane Albert Pujols.

Of course, Larussa stuck with Rowand and the NL blew their chance. Why would Larussa not go with Pujols, HIS OWN PLAYER!!!!! Who would you rather go with, Rowand or Pujols? Pujols is my choice.

But then It came to me. I know exactly why LaRussa didn't hit for them...because homefield advantage doesn't mean anything to his Cardinals. Oh yeah, that's right. Tony just stuck it to the NL and gave the AL Home field because his cardinals won't be in the postseason. Good grief, thanks Tony.

I realize this probably won't be the case this year (as much as I wish it was), but if the Braves are in Game 7 of the World series they will be playing at an away park and I will know exactly who I will be thinking of during that game, that's right, mr. Larussa himself.

OK, I apologize for that Larussa Rant. I will now go back to working on my Lesson.

UPDATE: Milestones Pt 2 is almost done.
