He’s A Complicated Man

From The Brewers Bar’s “A short history of Tony La Russa’s complaints”:

↵

↵↵2009: La Russa and Duncan accuse the Reds of not properly rubbing down the baseballs before the game, because they were “slippery.”

↵2009: La Russa and Chris Carpenter accuse the Rockies’ grounds crew of building the pitching mound at a different slope than the bullpen mound.

↵2010: Carpenter and the Cards again complain about slick baseballs in Cincinnati.

↵↵And, of course, you can add “unfair lighting,” “sign-stealing,” and “quick-pitching,” to the list, all from last weekend’s series in Milwaukee.
