Disconnect between La Russa, bullpen hurts Cards Tue Oct 25 02:57:00 2011 EST

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Tony La Russa has won a lot of games over a lot of years by deploying relief pitchers differently than most managers. His reputation may have worked against the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 5 of the World Series.

Well, that and baseball's reliance on the 1900s technology of wall phones in bullpens even though they're apparently easily drowned out by raucous fans.

Bullpen coach Derek Lilliquist misunderstood La Russa twice with the game on the line, forcing the Cardi

Pujols wasn't saying.

``That's something that I don't know, (I've done) maybe 200 times. I play my game,'' he said. ``That's secret. I can't tell you how I play my game.''

MO' WORK: The St. Louis Cardinals will play their last game within a matter of days. Then the work really begins for general manager John Mozeliak, who will have little time to relish the success of a World Series season.

``It doesn't seem fair, does it?'' Mozeliak said

un support tonight will be Carpenter, who has won his last three postseason starts. Carpenter beat the Rangers in Game 1 of this series, holding Texas to a pair of runs and five hits in six innings. "If you want to choose somebody from the St. Louis Cardinals to pitch that game, it's Chris," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said after Sunday's loss. "I mean, there isn't anything about pitching on the road in a hostile environment. I think he actually likes it, pitches better." Carpenter is 8-2 w

(Sports Network) - The St. Louis Cardinals prided themselves on winning every getaway game down the stretch to ensure themselves a happy flight. It's become somewhat of a calling card for the team in these playoffs. But, thanks to a defensive miscue from one of the best players in the game and a blown save from Jason Motte, who had been so reliable here in the postseason, the Cardinals boarded a plane for the first since early August as losers, dropping their first getaway game in 16 tries afte

(Sports Network) - Everyone has that annoying neighbor who comes over uninvited and then always seems to stay a little too long. The St. Louis Cardinals have become that neighbor. Tony La Russa's crew grabbed a 1-0 World Series lead over Texas Wednesday following the script that has served them so well this postseason. St. Louis got a key hit from one of the lesser known players on the roster plus three scoreless innings from five relievers en route to a 3-2 win over the Rangers. Now the team w
Cardinals add Westbrook, Schumaker for World Series Wed Oct 19 13:31:12 2011 EST
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - The St. Louis Cardinals have finalized their roster for the World Series, adding pitcher Jake Westbrook and the versatile Skip Schumaker. Westbrook and Schumaker, both of whom were on the NLDS roster and sat out the NLCS against Milwaukee, will take the roster spots of outfielder Adron Chambers and pitcher Kyle McClellan, respectively. The right-handed Westbrook did not see action against Philadelphia, while Schumaker, who can play the outfield or infield, went

(Sports Network) - The Milwaukee Brewers head home hoping to stave off elimination when they play Game 6 of the National League Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Miller Park. The Brewers owned the best home mark in baseball this season, going 57-24 and that has transferred over here to the postseason, as they have won four of their five games in front of their fans. "I have a lot of confidence in our guys," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "They are confident at home. W
Cards take 3-2 lead behind bullpen, Brewers errors Sat Oct 15 00:12:07 2011 EST
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - The St. Louis Cardinals are one win away from the World Series, thanks to another solid effort from their bullpen and four Milwaukee errors. Brewers third baseman Jerry Hairston's fielding error in the second inning allowed two key runs to score, and the Cardinals went on to win 7-1 in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. Yadier Molina, Jaime Garcia and Albert Pujols each had an RBI for the Cardinals, who bounced back from Thursday's 4-2 loss to ta
Brewers, Cards play pivotal NLCS Game 5 at Busch Fri Oct 14 10:28:29 2011 EST
Brewers hadn't won a road playoff game in 29 years before Thursday. They will try to make it two in a row and head back home with a series lead tonight when they play a pivotal Game 5 of the National League Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Milwaukee evened this best-of-seven affair on Thursday, as Randy Wolf shined in the longest postseason start of his career, tossing seven innings of two- run baseball to help the Brewers to a 4-2 win to even the set at tw
Wolf helps Brewers even series Fri Oct 14 00:04:57 2011 EST
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Randy Wolf shined in the longest postseason start of his career, tossing seven innings of two-run baseball to help the Milwaukee Brewers beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-2, and even the National League Championship Series at two games apiece. Ryan Braun's run-scoring single in the fifth inning proved to be the difference for the Brewers, who bounced back from a 4-3 loss on Wednesday. George Kottaras, Jerry Hairston Jr. and Yuniesky Betancourt each added an RBI. W
