With the bad grammar, of course.

I wasn't trying to be racist. Just trying to portray stupidity. He doesn't come accross as stupid all the time.

 

I'm sorry :oops:

Does it have to be because he's black that we're poking fun?

 

Aren;t you judging others as well by assuming this is a racist comment?

 

Gimme a break.

Not that I'm, gulp, trying to defend Baker, but I think he was saying Corey usually came up in a critical situation, i.e., the bases loaded OR a man on third with less than two outs. Due to Corey's mental implosion during the season, he had no capacity to come through in these situations.

 

The sad thing is this is the type of analysis the Cubs organization relies upon. Completely unproven "seems to" "usually" "always" statements with no actual facts to back them up can't tell you anything about your ballclub.

 

Corey had 8 at bats with the bases loaded last year. Burnitz, Neifi, Barrett and Ramirez all had more. And others had more total plate appearances with the bases loaded. JB hit .176/.250/.353 with the bases loaded in twice the number of opportunities. Nomar actually had similar number of chances to Corey, and hit worse, with a line of .000/.000/.000.

 

Perception is a killer when you don't have the willingness or ability to confirm your suspicions with a little fact checking.

 

don't you dare doubt baker...his teams go to the postseason every year.

My favorite part was Baker blaming other organizations for the lack of fundamentals of players that the Cubs willingly brought in.

 

Johnny B. Baker, supergenius.
