Today the St. Louis Cardinals announced the release of Scott Spiezio after being charged in a six-count complaint involving drunken driving and assault in a car crash this past December.
When asked about the move, Cardinals manager Tony Larussa said "it’s a consistent message about what the team represents.”
Something with that picture doesn't seem right.
Maybe it's because LaRussa had his own DUI arrest last March and pled guilty in November.
If this is a constant message about what the team represents, LaRussa would be out of a job right now. It is the ultimate definition of hypocracy for LaRussa to say that the Cardinals organization takes a stand against DUI when LaRussa got no punishment whatsoever from the club.
LaRussa called his own DUI an "embarrassment," and apologized to "anyone who is close to me, members of the Cardinals organization, our fans."
I think it's embarrassing for LaRussa to come out and say what he said and owes Scott Spiezio an apology for his comments.
There's an old saying that says that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I think it's about time someone gave Mr. LaRussa some stones.
