Tony LaRussa and Mark McGwire are the biggest frauds in the history of major league baseball.

John,

I begged you not to bet all of next years beer money on the series.

Baseball is still going on?
It's almost November; it's football season.

Please see your health care provider for medication. Anger kills. By the way whatever team it is you support... they were NOT in the World Series. Just so your bitterness can be be both wide and deep, you can buy Cardinal World Series memorabilia at their web site.

The pitcher throwin’ at the batter? Po’ widdo boy.

St. Louis has a long proud history of drilling batters. I am glad to see a pitcher use that tool again.

Just so you know, La Russa is not universally loved, even here in St Louis. A lot of Cardinal fans disagree with his "over" managerial style. Nonetheless, the record speaks for itself. Soon to be the 2nd winningest manager in the history of baseball; five pennants, three World Series championships.

As for McGwire, it's a little more complicated. Not a single team in baseball can claim they were steroid-free. That's not to excuse McGwire, but to provide context and perspective. After the '94 strike, MLB was reeling. McGwire and Sosa brought the fans back in that 1998 Home Run Derby. It wasn't just La Russa who looked the other way, it was everyone in baseball.

As for the 2011 World Series, it was simply one of the best series ever. Sure, there were errors, pitching mistakes, and epic failures. But that's the case in every series. Baseball is hardly a precision game. The Rangers are a top notch group of players, and they will be back in the WS.

Memo Number One to Rangers Fan: When you’re behind withe the bases loaded in Game Seven, it’s a bad time for your pitcher to walk in a run.

Memo Number Two to Rangers Fan: When you’re even further behind in Game Seven with the bases still loaded because your pitcher screwed up Memo Number One, and you go to the bullpen to stop the hemorrhaging, it’s a really bad time for your reliever to plink the batter with his first pitch.

Season over. Thanks for playing.
