Well... San Diegans are fairly biased in their views of Pujols. 2 seasons ago Albert Pujols hit a game winning home run against the Padres (who were having a very frustrating season) and admired his home run for about a minute. The next game, Adam Eaton threw a breaking ball that hit Pujols and he mouthed off and started a bench clearing brawl between both teams.
I know what to expect from Edmonds... I've been watching him play for years. LaRussa does play to win... and he's successful as a manager. I'm not sure how he would do managing a small market team though. He's like Torre... he wins with the high profile team that he's given. Bobby Cox has proven this season that he can created a winning team with relatively average players... aside from the Jones' and Smoltz. Nevertheless, the Cards deserve a lot of credit for every 100 games they've won. They play fundamental baseball and are basically an all star team. They should win.
