He might feel slighted, but if Wood and Prior are effective when they come off the DL, it might be what's best for the team in the short run as well as the long run.
I would rather have Walker at 2nd than Hairston. Hairston doesn't have much, if any, edge in OBP and defense, and he's not a good base-stealer. Walker, on the other hand has a little bit of power, which is always a good thing.
I think this team is going to have to tank pretty hard to put Dusty on the hotseat. This is the same garbage Dusty has been doing since before he became a cub.
That guy has such an awesome name. http://wgnradio.com/sports/photos/cubscon2004/dickpoleCC04.jpg "Hey, guys! You won't believe what they wrote on this sign!"
Because the only thing Dusty understands about baseball is lefty-righty. He doesn't even really understand how to interpret splits, since he's previously acknowledged the reverse splits of Fox and Remmy, he just has the very basic concept of lefty-righty matchups.
I can't believe Dusty brought Hawk out there to protect a five run lead. How stupid can one manager be? That's about as bad as trying to use Remmy as a LOOGY, even after he acknowledged the reverse splits!
