Holy hell, Bernie.

You're not even trying to hide the fact that you are a gigantic drama queen (that wasn't a fat joke).

The guy who brought the whole Rolen/LaRussa feud to the public and irresponsibly posted speculation and inflammatory pieces on his message board brings us this article: It's not a big deal.

Excerpt:

Some are saying that La Russa’s latest diatribe over Rolen will hurt the team’s chances of trading Rolen.

Wrong.

Because all La Russa did was reinforce what Mozeliak had already said: the Cardinals aren’t running the Salvation Army here. They aren’t donating Rolen to another team at a low cost, and so they’ll put Rolen into their plans for 2008. The Cardinals will not deal Rolen from a position of weakness. They already had to scramble and settle for a medioce shortstop (Cesar Izturis), so why in the world would they give Rolen away and destroy the left side of the infield? Who would play third if Rolen goes? That’s among the reasons why La Russa made it clear the Cardinals wouldn’t be held hostage by Rolen … so how the heck does that undermine the Cardinals’ position?

So now he defends LaRussa and acts like this isn't an issue after previously stating the opposite.

I swear Bernie is the least objective reporter I've ever seen. When Tony is mean to him, he pans him. Apparently Tony is being nice to him now.

It's an epidemic, the LA Times has Bill Plaschke.

Bernie's really not going to rate until he's ripped on FJM.

Until then, he's just a medium market columnist trying to get over.

Maybe he'll be able to run Linehan out of town and get himself some shock-journalism street cred.

"scramble for a SS"????

They knew they didn't have a SS under contract (besides Ryan) for 2008 since the 2007 season started!

Jeff Gordon has been rippped by FJM, guess Bernie's getting behind.

Was I the only one who shuddered when Bernie referred to himself as a 'ho?

Great. Now I'm blind.

Looks like the STL Today forums have been changed to only allow 8 topics on the screen. I really look forward to the day when all 8 are "ANKLE AND LALOOSER NEED TO BE GO NOW!!!!!111"

Wait until Izzy blows a save. That will be a thing to behold.

If you go during a Rams game, I'm sure all eight topics will say something to the effect of "Linnehand needs to go."

For as much fun as we make of CT, Rams Talk is ten times worse. At least people on CT try to start game threads, and if ever there was a sport that was made for a game thread, it's football.
