Is anyone else as pissed off as me that Tony "The Bath House" La Russa didn't pitch hit Pujols in the bottom of the 9th in the All-Star Game?
"Well let's see we've lost 9 straight All-Star Games, we're playing for home field advantage in the WS, it's the bottom of the 9th with two down, I'm down one run, and there's two runners on. I suppose I could let the greatest hitter of our generation take a cut or two.....nah **** it, lets let Orlando Hudson defensive specialist extrodinar swing for shallow right in what could have been the greatest All-Star at bat in history, second only too,...... the next at bat with the bases loaded, when Aaron "My Batting Stance Killed Princess Diana" Rowand was allowed to leave his mark on history by being the first player in history to fly out with a gerbal up his ***.
Holy **** Pujols should have been hitting in that spot, Tony LaRussa should be ***** slapped!!

I asked Grady Little if LaRussa's move was the worst ever by a manager, and Litlte replied, "God, I hope so".

Usually, the worst decisions in football come in the form of transfers, here are but a few: There are players like Boulharouz and Scott Parker, which did not live up to the hype, but it wasn't their fault, they were never really given much of a chance...you know? Then there are players like Kleberson for Man Utd who came after winning a world cup with Brazil and was an utter failure, and others like Luque who signed from Depor to Newcastle and didnt do much either although scoring magnificent goals in La Liga...You'd think it couldn't get much worse, but it does. Bosko Balaban was utterly disgraceful and Sergei Rebrov was in the same league. But to me, the worst ever decision was: The exit of Jose Mourinho in exchange for Avram Grant. How was this justifiable? He has done well, but how could Abramovich argue FOR this decision? Jose Mourinho had built an invincible team at the Bridge, and just because of some arguments, an era was ended much too rashly. Terrible, terrible decision...Avram Grant might even go and win a couple of trophies, but let's see if he can do that next year.

i hear you brother i was screaming at my tv when i saw that ******* diamond back batting with two outs and in the bottom of the ninth, against one of the best closers of all time, and pujols was on the bench. ****!!!!! who cares if pujols was being saved for extra innings? they were losing!!! who to say that an allstar team that has lost 9 straight will even make it to the tenth inning? I mean, pujols could of gotten at least a single to tie it up... whateva!!!! I think that la russa deserves a jumping in the back of an ally. wanna join me?

Worst ever? Nah. Indefensibly bad, but not the worst ever.
Little leaving in Pedro -- now THAT was a disaster, and an easily predictable one.

La Russa said he was going to save him just in case of extra inning affairs. I think that he did that just cause he knew Albert wouldnt care since they probably talked about saving him just in case, and also La Russa doesnt want him to get hurt either.
