Cardinals manager Tony La Russa says a fan told him he hoped he would get shingles again and that others took insults too far in St. Louis’s 8-7, 11-inning victory over the Brewers in Milwaukee Tuesday night. La Russa called the fans “idiots’’ in his comments after a game in which Albert Pujols was hit with a high pitch in the seventh inning and Brewers star Ryan Braun was plunked in Milwaukee’s next at-bat. La Russa, 66, struggled with shingles for more than a month earlier this season, missing six games because of the condition … Cincinnati third baseman Scott Rolen had surgery on his left shoulder and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Rolen, who has been on the disabled list since July 22, had arthroscopic surgery to remove bone spurs and fragments … Padres righthander Dustin Moseley underwent season-ending surgery on his non-pitching shoulder, which he dislocated last month while hitting a single … White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko is hoping to return to the lineup today after being sidelined by a bruised left calf he suffered when he was hit by an Andrew Miller pitch during Chicago’s 5-3 loss to Boston Sunday … Yankees righthander Mark Prior suffered a bruised left forearm after being hit by a liner during batting practice at the Yankees’ minor league complex in Tampa.
