CHICAGO -- Assuming that Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is watching the team's games from his home in St. Louis, the skipper likely got a little surprise on Thursday afternoon. Prior to the series finale between the Cardinals and Cubs won by the Cards, acting manager Joe Pettini didn't take out the lineup card to home plate. Instead, pitcher Kyle Lohse did -- dressed in a La Russa costume. Lohse wore La Russa's jersey, sunglasses that resembled La Russa's trademark shades, and even appeared to have done something to his hair to give him a look like La Russa's long-in-the-back style. Maybe someone can find a link --- pretty funny.
