PHOENIX (AP) -- St. Louis manager Tony La Russa is irate after a Phoenix-area disc jockey called Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile's widow and asked if she had a date for Thursday's game.

Flynn Kile hung up the phone after KUPD FM's Beau Duran called her Phoenix hotel room.

Chuck Artigue is the marketing manager for the Sandusky Group, which owns KUPD. He says the prank was in bad taste, but no action will be taken against Duran.

Artigue said he talked to Major League Baseball officials and Arizona Diamondbacks president Rich Dozer to apologize.

But La Russa isn't satisfied. He says if the Cardinals themselves could contact those responsible, "We would deal with them physically."
