St. Louis Sports 360:
The animosity and ill feelings from the 2010 brawl still exist, if only in the heated words exchanged between Reds manager Dusty Baker and former Cardinals bench boss Tony La Russa last week. Old rivals Baker and La Russa went at it again, this time over La Russa’s selections for the All-Star game in Kansas [...]

Chapman puts the finishing touches on a
come-from-behind win on Friday
The Reds returned to action on Friday night for the first time in nearly five days and for the first time at home since June 27th. So, naturally the Queen City faithful were anxious for their chance to cheer on their beloved Redlegs to victory. And that's exactly what they got to do in this one as Cincinnati...

The Cincinnati Reds hope to be buyers at July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, but general manager Walt Jocketty knows it's going to be tough to get deals done. Cincinnati would like to add a leadoff man, a cleanup hitter and bench help. "I'm not sure of any of it is possible," Jocketty said, "but that's what we're trying to do." With so many...

Darryl Kile finished his all-too-short 12-year Major League Baseball career as a St. Louis Cardinal, after pitching with distinction for the Houston Astros and Colorado Rockies. His sudden passing in June 2002 of a heart attack at the age of 33 led to immediate grief across baseball and later with two different annual Darryl Kile Awards, presented by the Baseball Writers Association...

The first half of the 2012 regular season is complete. After a few days off during the All Star Break, the Cardinals pick back up in Cincinnati on Friday – which should open up an onslaught of entertaining absurdity following the Dusty Baker/Tony La Russa quote fight last week. But, no so fast. We’re not moving on [...]

That...

This isnt like 2006, when former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa benched third baseman Scott Rolen twice during the playoffs. Back then, Rolen was not happy.
He had given himself to the team physically during the regular season, playing 142 games with an ailing shoulder. He then proved his point to La Russa after starting the postseason 1 for 11, batting .351 with a .955 OPS over...
