Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said a fan told him he hoped he would get shingles again and that others took insults too far in his team's 11-inning victory over the Brewers on Tuesday night. La Russa appeared to briefly engage in some banter after Tuesday's win, then called the fans "idiots" in comments after a game in which Albert Pujols was hit with a high pitch in the seventh inning. "It's going way too far when they start cursing your family and the funniest one, the guy's yelling, 'I hope you get shingles again,'" La Russa said. "That's just stupid. But when you watch and you ignore our guy get drilled when the other guy gets a little stinger, it's irritating." La Russa said that Brewers officials removed several fans near his team's dugout during the game. The 66-year-old La Russa struggled with shingles for nearly two months earlier this season, missing six games because of the condition.
