    LaRussa so old school, lol.

    Up 15-4 in the 9th, 3-0 pitch, and he dings it.

    LaRussa lost his shit because he didn't take a strike.

    ..."He made a mistake," La Russa said. "There will be a consequence he has to endure here within our family."...
    WTF does that mean? Sounds like Mercedes might wake up with a horse head, or worse...

    Larussa is such an ass. I’m tired of these old school baseball guys. A position player is on the mound and lobs one up, hit it to the moon and I don’t care what the score or count is. Why they hired this old fuxck is anyone’s guess but he’s got a team that’s the best in baseball. Only he could fuxck it up.

    LOL, LaRussa made the call, put the hit out on his own family...

    Loserussa might find out that his crap doesn't play in this era; hopefully, one of the players smacks him and he loses the locker room.

    If you're going to bring a player in to lob the ball over the plate, you might as well just forfeit the game.

    If you show that you don't give a shit, then why should the other team?
