Dusty Not Returning (Discussion & Reaction)

[Chris]

i think he almost said "I should not be sitting here"

 

That's what I decoded

[goonys evil twin]

I am unfortunately the one who is still sitting here.

 

 

 

Man, I don't think he's got it in him to do the job.

[Jazz]

i just had an incredible dream.

 

In it, the new interim CEO came up onto the podium at this press conference unannounced interrupting the proceedings and pulled Hendry aside. The two argued for 30 seconds ago, and Hendry left in a hissy fit. The CEO then came back to the podium to announce that "HENDRY IS GONE MOFO's, IT's ALL GEWD". He then announced that the cubs are a bunch of "little bitches that needed to hug it out".

 

I woke up extremely excited, but then i realized "oh, wait.."

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Sounds like I'm missing a real laugher here.

[Andy]

More Wood/Prior excuses by the guy whose nature it is not to make excuses.

[ToupeeOnFire]

I am unfortunately the one who is still sitting here.

I agree, that's very unfortunate.

[sethuel1]

In all seriousness.........can we stop the fat jokes?

But he's sitting on all of the other ones we printed out.

Ok, he really didn't say that

[Outshined_One]

More like a vaguely awkward speech. Think nerdy 6th grader running for student council president-level.

Sorry, that was too obvious. I'll go back to being sarcastic.

[Chris]

It's not my nature to make excuses, but let me tell you about guys on the DL

[Andy]

Says the Tribsters have faith in him, have entrusted him to hire the right manager.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Its done. Thank you everyone for coming.

He just fired a guy he has worked with for 4 years, I expect him to be somewhat shaken.

[CoolHandLuke]

Did he say something along the lines of: Maybe if I did a better job then things would have turned out better?

[kente777]

Says the Tribsters have faith in him, have entrusted him to hire the right manager.

 

Why would they do that...since he obviously made the wrong choice the first time.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Chris]

He had more ums than the Cubs had losses under Baker, which is saying something

[Master Shake]

Yahoo! News is reporting that Dusty is gone...

 

Baker Out

[sethuel1]

Its done. Thank you everyone for coming.

 

Huh?

[Andy]

Claims he won't make a move that is the best for his own job security as opposed to best for the team. "If you've got the right guy, experience isn't the most important criteria."

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Discussing Girardi on WGN radio now.

[CubColtPacer]

He said at the end of the season it doesn't say by your name how many injuries you had that year, but only what your win loss record was that year, and no matter what happens that's all that matters.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Oooh, not looking for previous experience when filling the spot.

Indeed. He also looks like some one who hasn't had a good night's sleep in about a week.

my favorite part of the mlb.com article:

 

Baker wasn't consulted on the deals, such as the Aug. 20 trade which sent Neifi Perez to the Detroit Tigers. Baker found out during the national anthem of the Cubs game that day, and was called off the field to give Perez the news.
