On August 31 in Miami, Morgan directed inappropriate comments toward the fans during the 10th inning, in the wake of a home-plate collision with Marlins catcher |

| (Sports Network) - Tony La Russa hasn't managed many poor teams during his tenure with the St. Louis Cardinals. In fact, the Cardinals have missed the playoffs only six times since La Russa took over the ballclub back in 1996, a pretty solid batting average.
