df,

I was actually pulling for a Cubs/White Sox series. I've two problems with St. Louis.

Problem 1...It's where it is and it's who the manager is. That brings up problem 2.

Problem 2...Tony LaRussa. Here's a guy that's been successful in St. Louis. Before that, in Oakland. And before that...Chicago (with the White Sox). I can't forgive him for leaving.
