The Cardinals keep hope alive with a 4-2 win over the Reds, but all is not well under the Arch. Scott Miller says a growing divide surrounding a reportedly disgruntled Colby Rasmus and the rest of Tony La Russa's team is rearing an ugly head.

Manny’s Hollywood start in L.A. ends with a whimper

It was a mutual love affair when it began in 2008. Manny Ramirez embraced L.A. and the City of Angels couldn't get enough of Manny. Despite the perfect start, his tenure with the Dodgers ends with little fanfare, Scott Miller says.
