Interesting Dusty quote

[UMFan83]

Re: Aram's big game

 

"It's a great finish, he's finishing strong," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. "And, boy, it came right on time for us."

 

 

Really? Best time for us? Please explain to me how the point at which a team that is 62-89 is the best time. Are you sure the best time wouldn't have been in April and May when we still had a shot at the playoffs and ARam hit .197? Are you sure its good for "us" that Aramis is getting hot just before he has a chance to void out of his contract and resign for lots more?

 

Well it is good for one person....Dusty Baker. Just the right time to keep a 100 loss season off the old resume.

 

BTW, for the people planning on ripping on me for yet another Dusty quote, save your time. I'm half kidding/nitpicking here. More or less it was an interesting comment that I wanted to share and comment on. I'm sure it was completely innocent and was not meant to be taken the way that I have.

I'm the guy that is usually saying that Dusty's words are being unfairly twisted, but this one just makes me scratch my head. And then shake my head. What was he thinking?

Could he be taking a sarcastic shot at ARam?

 

Probably not, I guess.

[NewUserName]

I would love to have heard him say this. I do wonder if there is a bit of sarcasim in what he is saying.

My first thought was he was being sarcastic, but it would seem to be very un-Dusty like to do something like that.

[Guest]

I think he is being sarcastic and it fits his blamegame mo perfectly.

[Careless]

Have we ever seen sarcasm from Dusty? Would he take a shot at aram like that?

you'd have to actually hear him say it to know, but I think that's giving Dusty too much credit. I don't think he has the capacity for sarcasm

[FergieJ31]

I could be wrong but I don't think it's sarcasm. I don't think Dusty meant anything other than ARam getting red hot without DLee in the lineup.

I don't see Dusty's quote that far off.

 

 

 

"

Just one word was off, IMO.

I doubt Dusty is even capable of sarcasm, though that would have been a good one. He's just babbling again, pay no mind. I knew this was going to happen with Ram though, more junk time numbers for a fat contract. Same thing he did pretty much last year. Funny how it works that way.

[biittner77]

Maybe Dusty has always been sarcastic. That makes much more sense

[USSoccer]

I think Dusty picks and chooses his perspectives. Usually it's the inverse of logical. In this case, within the context of this game, I suppose he did get hot at the right moment to hit 2 HR's.
