Haha thats funny as ****. I feel bad for Dusty, but my God thats funny. Who the heck would take a **** right in the dugout?
Not to mention the title/headline of the article!
Cubs loss is our gain. Not suprised at all a Cubs fan would do that.
Enjoy him while you still think he is a good manager. It will catch up with you, just like it did the rest of us.Quote:

That has nothing to do with his managerial performance...or were the Cubs just acting as a welfare agent in hiring a manager that hadn't performed well but needed a large salary? He did alright for himself in the Bay Area...so well that he was the biggest "free agent" in the managerial market when the Cubs hired him.Quote:

Did he do something with Russ Ortiz in the World Series when he thought they had it won? Didn't he like give him the game ball on the mound, or something like that, only to have them end up losing? Granted, it's nothing compared to the embarrassment of his time in Chicago, but it's something.Quote:

Dusty has proven he could win and get to the playoffs in SF, Chicago and Cincinnati. It's not like the guy is a bum. The Cubs are always doomed to fail, it doesn't matter who's managing them
He has also proven more times than not that once he get to the playoffs, he sucks.Quote:

He is the SOLE reason I had to wait almost ten more years to win a World Series, and this years team had half the talent. The Giants players made Dusty look good til it came to crunch time and you had to make managerial decisions. Then the real Dusty Baker stood up. Sorry, rant over.
