Tony La Russa says he wants to manage next season. But he's not ready to make that commitment just yet -- or commit to which team he might lead. In comments to reporters in St. Louis on Monday, La Russa, who endured a season marked by turmoil and tragedy, left open the possibility that he could leave the St. Louis Cardinals after 12 seasons and a World Series championship, saying he was too drained to make a decision about his future now. "Yeah, I want to manage [next season]," La Russa said. "I want to manage. ... I just want to be able to say whatever it is and be convinced it's the right thing. I have guys I respect who say when you feel this gassed, wait a minute."
