The Cardinals believe the reason why the Brewers have played so much better at home this season is because they cheat. St. Louis manager Tony La Russa filed a complaint with the umpiring crew during Monday's series opener between the two teams. La Russa suggested the LED "ribbon" board that wraps around the ballpark above the loge level shone brighter while the Brewers batted. The suggestion was that the lighting was darker when the Cardinals batted, making it more difficult to see the ball. Umpiring crew chief Gary Darling forwarded that complaint to Major League Baseball vice president of baseball operations Joe Garagiola, Jr., who then placed a telephone call to Brewers general manager Doug Melvin. "There's no cheating," said Melvin. "It's all been handled. "We didn't change anything."
