Who was the idiot in the Reds organization who said "Boy, Dusty did a bang-up job in Chicago! He'd be great for our team! I hope he brings Jose Macias and Rey Ordonez with him!"

[BeerHere]

Couldn't happen to a better guy. Racist prick.

Dusty Baker has unsettlingly round fingernails. I don't know why this bothers me.

HR on Dusty just now:"He had to overcome Votto's lack of RBI's this year."

Lol, he has to be trolling, right?

[Tryptamine]

After all these years I'm still shocked at just how stupid the majority of people who cover baseball are. How you can cover a sport as a profession or, worse yet, play it all your life and still not understand it is beyond me.

I wish. When MLB network has he and Williams on set at the same time you can practically feel the ignorance radiating off of the TV.

[Cubswin11]

So you guys think Dusty will ever manage again?

[Banedon]

He's managed 3 teams and taken all of them to the playoffs. Some team will ignore the negatives and focus on that positive.

[treebird]

yes he deserves to die and i hope he burns in hell

He was also the 2nd oldest manager(to Leyland) with Davey Johnson retiring. Not sure how many more seasons he'd want to manage and if starting with a new team would be worth it.

Yep. He's done a good job as a regular season manager and his players generally back him up. If you're a team like the Mariners or Rockies or Blue Jays, you could do a lot worse.

 

That being said, I hope he proves to be a fraud who just had stacked teams and did nothing with them so I can continue my hatred of him in a more rational way.

[rocket]

this sounds familiar

 

"The last couple weeks, I've been getting a rash of hate mail, racial mail,'' he said. "Maybe it is time to go."

 

"This is really ugly," he said. "There are all sorts of references to Barack Obama. So now I know where they are coming from. I don't know, maybe people are mad at him, so they don't like the idea of blacks in authority."

Did the same thing happen in San Fran?

Are we really surprised that public, black authority figures get anonymous racist mail? You've seen YouTube before right?

Yeah, as much as I hate Dusty, I have little doubt he's telling the truth.

You can't make this stuff up.

Of course not. I'm quite positive there are racial idiots everywhere. I'm just wondering if he cited it when leaving San Fran as well?

[Clem Fandango]

You think he'd learn by now to have a low level employee or something screen his fan mail.

Maybe that's a job for Darren

It's not that I doubt him...I know that there's plenty of racist assholes out there...but the fact that he brings it up every time he gets fired is just bad timing. It just makes it look like whining/excuse making.
