The upside to the NL's loss is the almost universal slamming of LaRussa. At Deadspin, Cardinals fan Will Leitch rips him. On FAN, Russo said "only Tony LaRussa can screw up an all-star game" and it was a "Christmas present" from LaRussa to Leyland. And even the dopey Cardinals fans are ripping him: at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch message board, a majority of the posters think he screwed up. Nice to see LaRussa exposed.
