Dusty's wiping our stink off

[hardcorecubfan]

Dusty Baker is going to try to wipe the Cubs' stink off him and get another job, but it may not be easy. He has been linked to jobs in Seattle and San Diego, but Bruce Bochy has a year left on his Padres deal and in the unlikely event the Pads eat that, Art Howe is a decent bet to reunite with Sandy Alderson.

You know working around cattle all day you everyday, you don't recognize that you stink as well.

So I guess it's the Cubs' fault he was a terrible manager that drove our pitchers into the ground, castrated our offense by encouraging aggressiveness and shunned OBP, and lectured on defense but did nothing to improve it?

 

Yeah, he has to get the Cubs stink off of him long enough to stink up another ballclub.

I'm hoping it's an NL team.

 

Can you imagine Dusty in Arizona with all that young talent?

Poor Connor would never see a start over Tony Clark. He'd push them to pick up Luis Gonzalez's extension too. That Luis knows how to win!

Quick, name the last manager of the Cubs, who enjoy even remote success with another team, after leaving Chicago?

 

 

 

 

My guess is...Baker will struggle to keep a job for even as long as he did in Chicago.

Joe McCarthy!

 

Quick, name the last Cub manager who even had another managing job after leaving Chicago.

 

Answer: (not counting interim manager John Vukovich who got a similar interim gig with Philadelphia) Lee Elia
