Maybe this is a stretch, but with Garner, LaRussa, Yost, and Tracy all forseeably locked up, does this impact Baker's mindset enterring the 2006 season?

He likely has the inner-confidence that regardless of the possibility of a lack of coaching opportunities that his resume/track record is strong enough that if he isn't in Chicago, he'll find a situation to his liking.

I wish. But sadly, he's too thick skulled to see it, and Hendry's average cranial bone mass is increasing every day.

 

In short, we're going to have to live with Dusty for much, much longer than we should have to.
