Sweet Revenge
-
The Cards kicked Walt Jocketty out the door despite the former GM putting together the pieces that eventually won them a World Series in 2006. Almost every year, they were the club to beat in the NL Central. But not this year.
Now, Jocketty has built the Reds into a contender and they’re beating the Cards at their own game and closing in on the division crown.
The 2 clubs meet this weekend in a pivotal series in St. Louis. The Cards trail the Reds by 8 games in the division. A sweep or a series-winning outing by the Reds will practically gift wrap a spot in the playoffs. Though Dusty Baker deserves as much credit as anyone, so does Jocketty.
Ironically, Jocketty’s great work in Cincy will probably result in the demise in his friend Tony LaRussa in St. Louis.
