Trib article suggests end is near for inept coaching staff!

[CuseCubFan69]

The latest from the Baker saga:

 

Chicago Tribune:

Cubs manager Dusty Baker met with general manager Jim Hendry on Wednesday and felt "comfortable" about his job status amid reports Hendry was considering staff changes during the All-Star break.

 

I think that pretty much says Baker is not being fired next week.

 

As I pointed out earlier, Bruce's article today stated that Baker's job was safe for the moment also. :cry:

 

Would Baker sacrifice his coaching staff to keep his job?

 

Since nothing is his fault, why not?

What else would he say, that he's nervous about being fired? This doesn't change anything, of course that's what Dusty is going to say.

Probably going to fire a couple of secretaries. Maybe that guy that doctors up the balls before the games. A parking lot attendant...you know, the people that are responsible for this mess.

Why would Dusty come out and say, "yep, I'll be gone in a week or two. Screw you, losers!" The guy no doubt wants to coach somewhere else. Handling the loss of his job undiplomatically doesn't help him there.

Actually I think Dusty said that because he knows he isn't going anywhere.

How about a manager who will play youth, value walks and OBP, keep unproductive veterens on the bench, and stop making dumb excuses??

[Magnetic Curses]

maybe i'm totally off, but wasn't it razor shines that made that famous catch back in the 90s when he literally ran through the outfield wall?

 

If that's true, the man should be running the whole friggin' league.

 

that was brian mcrae, i think.

 

Rodney McCray

 

rodney dangerfield.

 

Since I can't make a play on Dangerfield, I'll just point out that it really was Rodney McCray who ran through the wall.

 

Dammit, no other Dangerfields?

 

oh, sorry. i knew it was a mcrae/mcray of some sort.

The quote i got from yahoo.

 

"We need to win, that's no secret," Baker said. "Yeah, I feel comfortable. A lot of other people don't feel comfortable, but I feel comfortable"

 

Maybe im being really pissy about this, but it just comes off as childish. Nah, Nah, Nah im comfortable about my job but your going to lose yours crap.

 

The biggest problem i have with Dusty this year is his attitude. Besides some of his lineups i really am not going nuclear about him, but his attitude has gone in the toilet. He has such a loser attitude this year.

He displayed a lot of this same attitude last year.

They're going to annouce that they're firing the fans. The negative attitude of the fans has brough the team down. Some new fans will liven things right up.
