Does anyone want Dusty to come back??

[BigSlick]

I mean he was annoited the savior of the Cubs in 2003, and got the cubs to back to back winning seasons in 2004, then 2005 and 2006 happened...so does anyone want him back???

 

The entire NSBB community.

 

I mean, we wont have a beautiful figurehead to bash all the time for our failure.

 

It'll make complaining a little more difficult.

Only if i was 100% guaranteed that his coming back brought Bonds to Chicago.

And no, i dont believe my scenario is a legit scenario either.

No, no, no, and a thousand times no.

"There are days I want to jump in the stands and beat [up] the fans for yelling at him," Eyre said. "He's not the one who gave up the home run to Ken Griffey Jr. the other night to get the loss -- I did. He put me in the game, but that's my job to get the guy out. People still say it's his fault, and to me that hurts, because I have a lot of respect for him."

His use of the bullpen is just one of many many bigger problems that people have with Baker. His lineup construction is absolutely piss poor, no other way to put it. His handling and playing of veterans who suck is piss poor there is no other way to put it. Those are the 2 main problems I have with Baker, and there is noway in hell he should be back. GOOD RIDDANCE

I agree he's taking too much heat for what his job was, but if you want a competent team next year, you and I both know he shouldn't be there.

Was the Griffey HR his fault? No.

 

What about the Edmonds HR off of Remlinger?

 

What about his obsession with R/L matchups that often put bad players in difficult situations?

 

What about trotting Shawn Estes and Glendon Rusch out to slaughter OVER and OVER again when there were better options?

 

What about the countless other times he ignored or misinterpreted stats, and it cost us a game?

 

Dusty may not swing the bat, or throw the ball, but he has control over who does.

 

He lost many, many games for the Chicago Cubs.
