It all comes home to roost today at 3, but for those who need a little somethin' somethin' to tide them over 'til game time...the NY Times profiles La Russa today. I must admit, I didn't know he homeschooled his kids.
Go Cards!

I know this was the year of "participating not hating" or something like that. But I hate LaRussa. Giving interviews in the middle of the freakin game. If we lose this series I will never forgive him. NEVER. I'm not even a baseball fan really, but I can't stand watching the Cardinals get outcoached by a so-called guru.

See 'Bull Durham' to the end, though it gets pretty racy, when Kevin Costner tries to tutor Tim Robbins about such things.
