Manager Tony La Russa was on record as saying this was the best base-running team he's ever had. That was before Reggie Sanders missed second base, Larry Walker was out trying to score on a medium-deep sacrifice fly (the Cardinals apparently unaware that Manny Ramirez has a very accurate arm), and Jeff Suppan was running into a bizarre double play. OK, Suppan is a pitcher and is not used to running the bases. But this guy has been around for a long time now, and for him to turn a routine grounder to second with none out and men on second and third into a double play is inexcusable.
