The St. Louis Cardinals are parting ways with their manager.  The team let Mike Shildt go after he had just finished his fourth season with the team.  The Cardinals lost in the National League Wild Card Game to the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this month.  Shildt had taken the Cardinals to the playoffs in three out of four seasons as manager.  The team’s President cited “philosophical differences” in the decision to part ways with Shildt.
