You could do a lot worse than Dusty Baker, but he has yet to prove he can manage a playoff winner. While Matheny had issues with the bullpen he has issues with starters, rides them too hard in the regular season and then they are gassed when it matters most. |

Baker does have that old school mentality that probably appeals to DeWitt so there is probably some truth behind his name.

Use some of that money they're sitting on and see if you can get Francona to leave Cleveland.

We picked Matheny over him. That was the original unforgivable sin. |

He would be crucified if he hired Baker. Of course as a wretched baby bear fan you would hope they would make this mistake, but I can't imagine a scenario that Baker becomes their best option.

I'd rather have kept Matheny than hire Baker.
That backwards piece of mouth-breathing shit has no business on a major league bench. He's an enabler and an idiot. He's a more charismatic, somehow less intelligent version of Mike Matheny. I will absolutely be done with this team if they hire Dusty Baker. My hope is that Shildt runs with the job. I really think he could be a good one. |

The Bellagio is....not smart.
He's not attending the game as he's back in Florida with his wife who's likely going to have twins 2 months premature. So, y'know, they should probably update their odds since he won't be on the field and all... |
