Good Luck, La Russa! Media Attorney Says You'll Need It
Daily RFT's tech blogger Bill Streeter has already shared the news that Tony La Russa is suing Twitter over a fake Twit who was tweeting under "The Skipper's" likeness. (The Twitter account was suspended after the lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California.)La Russa is likely to face a shut-out on this one, according to Mark Sableman, a media lawyer at Thompson Coburn who represents Riverfront Times on legal issues. "Things like this don't happen so often in traditional print media,

Mike Holmgren is in the midst of stumbling through his final year as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. Today on the sports blog of our sister paper, Seattle Weekly, former RFT staff writer Mike Seely has an interesting take on the likely legacy of Holmgren.Seely speculates that Holmgren will go down as the Tony LaRussa of the NFL. Why? For starters, the pair have nearly identical career winning percentages. It's worth a read, if only to get another look at this priceless, puppy-faced picture L

Ladies and gentlemen, the dream is over. Todd OwyoungCardinals manager Tony La Russa enjoying a hilarious moment.It was just a small, simple dream that I had; a dream of a Cardinal rotation without Joel Pineiro. A simple dream for a simple man, with simple tastes. A dream of summer evenings spent on the veranda, listening to the baseball match on the Victrola, sans Joel Pineiro. Now that dream has been ripped from me, torn asunder by a cruel and uncaring manager. I thought, just for an

Spring training is officially underway, with real, no-foolin' games being played and everything. The beginning of a long, twisty road that leads through summer and into autumn, hopefully ending late in October with a nice, new piece of hardware to add to the trophy case at Busch Stadium.At the very least, it promises to be an interesting season, one which will likely go a long ways toward deciding how the fan base views the Cardinals' new-found commitment to a build-from-within philosophy. In fa
February 26, 2009La Russa's Seven Least-Favorite Players
The writers over at InsidesSTL had some fun with this latest list, which is, as the headline sez, the seven players Tony La Russa didn't get along with too well during the skipper's time in St. Louis. It's a solid rundown of fights and public squabbles TLR has had with players, but I do have one gripe -- couldn't they have made it an even ten? You could include Ron Gant, Brendan Ryan and a post-Cards Jim Edmonds.Update: The Post-Dispatch's Bernie Miklasz has chimed in with his own addition

October 2, 2002Credit Where Credit is Due: Cards Put Ank' on DL
A couple of days ago, I wrote about Dick Ankiel's injury. I concluded that I thought the Cardinals needed to put him on the disabled list, rather than go day-to-day with him. My reasoning was that the Cards are already playing with a short bench, due to the bizarre obsession of Tony La Russa with having as many middle relievers as possible, and under no circumstances did I want Ankiel feeling pressure to try and rush back before he was ready. Well, I take a lot of shots at this team, and so
May 7, 2009Roster Problems
Yesterday afternoon, we saw what was, in my ever so humble opinion, the best start so far this year from a Cardinal go to waste. Chris Carpenter deserves some apologies, and a better outcome next time out. The question, of course, is how do you get him a better outcome next time?

Unreal has spent all of June breathlessly tracking the Tony La Russa v. Twitter brouhaha. OK, so we've actually just quickly spent the past few minutes skimming our columnist colleague Bill Streeter's two dispatches about the lawsuit, and also the one by Kristen Hinman. And even though those two are way more plugged in than your Luddite correspondent here, trust us, we're totally up to speed on this complex legal matter.So we knew it was only a matter of time until Tony L sued Riverfront Times!W
June 9, 2009Circling the Drain
Does anybody want to tell me when this whole thing just went to hell? Remember when the Cardinals were a first-class organization, one that made smart moves, fielded competitive teams, and had everyone pulling in the same direction? Well, guess what, folks, the party, as they say, is over. Last one out turn out the lights.
July 23, 2009What a Twit! Tony La Russa Embraces Social Media He Once Sued, Joins Twitter
TLR's mugshot on TwitterThat's right. Yesterday, Tony La Russa joined the ranks of millions when he registered a real Twitter account under his name. As you'll recall, the Cardinals skipper sued Twitter back in May, when he discovered someone was passing himself (or herself) off as La Russa on the popular social media site. The lawsuit alleged that Twitter was damaging the trademark rights to La Russa's famous name. The legal claim was soon dropped, however, when it became evident that La Ru
October 22, 2009Tony La Russa Back for Another Go 'Round
Well, it looks as if Tony La Russa will be returning to manage the St. Louis Cardinals once again in 2010. He hasn't made any sort of official announcement as of yet, but all signs point to La Russa coming back for his 15th season wearing the Birds on the Bat. How do I feel about TLR being back at the helm in 2010? Well, I'm glad you asked. It would have been much more awkward if you hadn't. La Russa, seen here coming ashore on the Mississippi, is set to return to manage the Cardinals
October 25, 2009Mac is Back! La Russa to Install Mark McGwire as Cardinals Hitting Coach
I thought I was still slumbering this morning when I opened up the paper to read that Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is expected to sign a new two-year deal with the club on the condition that the Redbirds also sign tainted slugger Mark McGwire as hitting coach. A triumphant return for Mr. McGwire?According to the Post-Dispatch, La Russa will sign a two-year, $8.5-million extension today with the Cardinals and lay out his plans for replacing hitting coach Hal McRae with McGwire. La Russa and
