In my opinion, the problem is LaRussa, and has been for what, 5 or 6 years, and the chickens are coming home to roose. He has micromanaged a talented bunch of ballplayers, and I don't know why they have put up with it for so long. He has done some things right, that I admire, but overall, the team would have done better (expecially in the post-season) if LaRussa had adopted the Stengelesque posture of sleeping through the game.
