The reason why I have a strong dislike towards Dusty are several reasons. 1. I know that he is a freaking horrible in-game manager. He can only fill out the right freaking lineup when it's so obvious that there are no other logical lineup. 2. He cannot manage a bullpen, let alone the starting pitching, even if his life depended on it. I have never seen a bullpen that is so poorly used, and the fact that he trots out a starter to the mound with some 110+ pitches, where it's clearly evident that the pitcher is tired. It won't be long before some more starters will be going down due to arm problems. 3. On how he handle things in the media. There are some things that he said in the media that is just really flat-out a lies, and any average fan can sense that a mile away. Case in point, someone in here (Cannot recall who) mentioned this. What? Pretty close to meaning as much to us as DLee? I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with that fact. Where exactly is Aramis then? To me, it sounds like that he's saying that Neifi is better than Aramis. That's just how I see it. 4. I might be the minority here, but I'm also seeing that he is benching the rookies, and said something that they learn better by watching others. EH? No, you can't learn a whole alot by "watching". You learn alot faster when you PLAY. Not only he's hurting the team right now, he's also hurting the future of the team by letting the rookies rot in the bench. I'm depressed and I just about getting tired of watching the Cubs because of Dusty's unfathomable decisions, and it's just hurting the team IMHO. I'm sorry if some of them just don't make sense, it's just how I feel, coming right from my heart. I love the Cubs, and I would never quit loving them. It's just that Dusty's decision making is really making it difficult right now. *sigh*
