La Russa retires

After 33 years of managing, Tony La Russa has finally retired. During the 33 year span, he is 3rd on the all-time list for win and he's won 3 world series titles. La Russa was not a great MLB hitter during his career, batting only .199 average. La Russa has won 2,728 wins during his managing career and has been a great manager. I think that La Russa is the 2nd best or even the best manager of all-time. He's one that you'll never forget and oyu probably won't see a manager go 33 seasons for a while.

Indians acquire Derek Lowe

The Clevland Indains have acquired pitcher Derek Lowe from the Atlanta Braves. The Indians traded for a minor leauge pitcher for Lowe. Lowe is a solid pitcher that will improve the Indians rotation. They had acquired Ubaldo Jimenez before, but he didn't turn out quite as they imagined. Acquiring Lowe will help the Indians more. They could win the division this year or at least comepete with the Tigers.

Cardinals win Series

The St. Louis Cardinals have beaten the Rangers to claim the World Series title. Led by world series MVP David Freese, the Cardinals defeated the Rangers in 7 games. The Cardinals offense came to life as they scored many runs. Freeze also set the record for most RBI in post season with 21. While the Rangers did put runs on the scoreboard, there pitching wasn't as efficent as we thought. First of all, the Cards won the series by coming back and winning the wild card. They were 10 games back from Atlanta and pulled it off to get wild card spot. Next they beat a tough Phillies team, featuring a great pitching staff led by Cole Hamels and Roy Halldady. Then the Cards beat the Brewers to advance to the series. What a season by the Cardinals. Congragulations everybody for a great season and the Cardinals for winning the world series.

Rams grab Llyod from Broncos

The St. Louis Rams have traded for WR Brandon Llyod from the Broncos for a 6th round draft pick. The winless Rams were in need of a game breaker and that's what Llyod is for, making great catches. I still can't believe the Broncos took a 6th rounder for Llyod. I was thinking 3rd, 4th rounder, but 6th, you've got to be kidding me. This addition will help the winless Rams a lot. Grabbing Llyod will help the Rams who are a terrible offensive team this season.

Radiers acquire Carson Palmer

The Oakland Raiders have acquired quarterback Carson Palmer from the Bengals for a 2012 1st rounder and 2013 second rounder. 2nd rounder could become first rounder if Raiders make AFC title game. Palmer won't be starting sunday but will probably play the next several weeks. After Palmer got traded, The Raiders and Palmer reconstructed his contract. Palmer who was supposed to make 12 million this season will make 7.44 million. This additon will make a big impact on the Raiders offense. Keep in mind that the Raiders lost QB Jason Campbell for the season.

Cards, Rangers advance

The Cardinals and Rangers have advanced to the World Series. These are two great teams who had strong finishes to make it here. The Rangers beat the Tigers, while the Cardinals defeated the Brewers. This series will be fun and interesting to watch. Who would of guessed the Rangers would end up here again.

Curry delt to Raiders

The Seattle Seahawks have just traded linebacker Aaron Curry to to Raiders for draft picks in 2012 and 2013. Curry had been struggling latley and has been injured was the one to be dealt to Oakland, who could use some help on the defensive side of the ball. This will hopefully improve the Raiders defense.

Round one done, next stop round two

There were some great finishes in the wild card with the Cardinals upsetting the Phillies. Thanks to Chris Carpenter's great pitching the Cardinals advanced to the next round. The Brewers edged the Diamondbacks in extra innings to advance to the NLCS. Nyjer Morgan's game winning base hit put the Brewers in the NLCS. While the Rangers easily beat the Rangers 3 games to 1, the Tigers upsetted the Yankees 3 games to two. This has been a great first round of the playoffs. Now our next stop is round two.
