LaRussa Will Be Back....

Per Bernie....there will be a 1:00 news conference today. We don't know the length of the agreement as yet....could be 1, 2 or three years. Said he may want to seehow he works with the new GM. Hopefully, a 3 year deal....

According to the report by Strauss, it's either 3 years or 2 years with an option.
I am happy that the speculation is over and that Tony chose to remain with the Cards.

overall, I'm more happy than not. Now I sincerely hope DeWitt hires a visionary GM and one who works as well with TLR as Jocketty did, but communicates better.

I'm glad, too. STLtoday - Sports - Cardinals
With this, Izzy, Piniero, and Springer, things are a little more settled.
I hope a GM is picked soon. It appears we will have a young one.

I like Jocketty, but maybe his day had really passed.

I just voted in the poll that I was glad Tony was returning. 77% of the people had voted yes.
I really hope that Tony will think young.
I wonder if Lou Brock would do more work with them running?

Coop - Per Mark Lamping on Ch 4 last night, the GM position probably will not be resolved till after the World Series. DeWitt is down to a short list of possible candidates - Mozeliak is one of them.

Meh. The day LaRussa thinks young is the day he has a kid playing ball.

Weak FA market coupled with same-old, same-old equals....what, exactly? 83 more wins?

Hawk, it got you Series win once

You probably read these, already.

With the front office
STLtoday - Sports - Cardinals
What do you think about Hal McRae kept as batting coach?

With Rolen
STLtoday - Sports - Cardinals

I think we have a good team, even without Carpenter.
I hope Mulder can pitch like his Athletics years. Questionable.
We sure need another pitcher signed.
I'm sure Duncan will never understand that Reyes is a changeup pitcher.
Dyar Miller understands that. Free Anthony Reyes.

I'm OK starting out not spending a lot of money on other positions.
