There are some around here who jokingly believe that if (and let's hope it's more like when) Dusty gets fired we won't have much to talk about around here. I'm starting to believe it myself because I just can't imagine another manager out there who could say so many non-sensical things for us to debate. Dusty's latest foray is this gem courtesy of The Daily Herald when asked about the Braves 14 year playoff run likely coming to a halt this season:
"It's more weird for me not preparing for the playoffs than the Braves. The Braves, 15 years in a row, that's a heck of a run"
As Miles points out in his article, since the Braves started racking up division titles in the early 90's, it's Braves 14 and Baker 4 in the race to the postseason. I'll miss you Dusty, kind of like missing the crazy, drunk aunt at Thanksgiving dinner.

Post season four times maybe, but I think he's been in the hunt more than that. Cubs 03, 04 San Fran 93, 97, 98, 00, 01, 02

So we are counting "in the hunt" now? Boy lets just lower those standards to "being .500 is just as good as a WS."

not to cheapen anything, but some of those seasons (not all) the teams were in it right up until and into september in a legit realm. still...its just another dustyism. sounds like another joking around 1/2assed statement. dont think he's trying to convey "the braves? but..but..what about ME?!?!? i'm hurting here! i'm not used to this!! ive been 4 times and though 14 is greater than 4 it doesnt involve me therefore its not in my realm of comprehention." i sometimes with transcripts of press conferences for sports figures and full interviews were more easily accessable as they are for politics. no big deal, but it'd be nice to find it more often than currently available for the general public.

Nah, Hendry will be here for another two years minimum so all the regulars on this board will have his failures to beat to death. The tide seems to have shifted a bit towards Hendry's side already anyway. Next year will be just as pathetic with this starting rotation so you all will have plenty to disect. It will be "interesting" to see the Baker bashers flipflop Mariotti style over to Hendry.

He truly is the stupidest man in baseball. And that is saying a lot considering the competition just from this organization.

so why was maddux pulled after 5.1ip (61 pitches)? doesnt seem to be injury related. tomko just gave up maddux's 2-1 lead, btw.

Submitted by Rob G. on Sat, 09/09/2006 - 09:54 pm

cause he's maddux and he decided he was done. Did he already go through the lineup 3 times or something?

Submitted by crunch on Sat, 09/09/2006 - 09:58 pm

he was starting to get hit, but he intentionally walked beltran then had a guy come in to pitch specifically to delgado. just seems to be a pretty weird ditching of maddux...i was in the kitchen when he got pulled.

Petem: "Nah, Hendry will be here for another two years minimum so all the regulars on this board will have his failures to beat to death." WHAT?? No they won't. They haven't yet, no reason to start. Anyways another anti-Dusty posts...SHOCKING!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Wow and Manny keeps on trolling, that shocks no one on this site.

Submitted by Bill K on Sat, 09/09/2006 - 09:37 pm

So, Manny, do you think we should resign Baker to a new contract? Maybe 10 years? Lifetime? I mean, he is so amazing I can't believe anybody would question him.

Submitted by Rob G. on Sat, 09/09/2006 - 09:15 pm

yahoo says it was after 72 pitches for maddux, fwiw. I'm guessing they wanted a lefty to face Delgado who had already homered and flied to deep center. I don't know what their history is like between Delgado and Maddux.

Submitted by Bleeding Blue on Sat, 09/09/2006 - 09:49 pm

Anyways, once again the Dusty apologists can't defend Dusty's actions, so they bitch and moan because someone dares to question their savior.... SHOCKING!!

CBA update... http://tinyurl.com/pmu3b Likely no work stoppage, everyone seems happy, apparently they agreed back in 2002 to get rid of draft pick compensation for free agents but couldn't agree on the language for the contract. It seems that they won't let it happen this time. That could sure screw some teams over including the Cubs if it goes into effect for the next draft. (Pierre and Ramirez particularly)

Submitted by crunch on Sat, 09/09/2006 - 09:52 pm

the chances of owners letting that happen for the next draft is really really really slim. a lotta teams made trades (or avoided them) based upon the current system being in effect next draft. there's just way too many teams who would shoot themselves in the foot if that happened.

Submitted by mannytrillo on Sat, 09/09/2006 - 09:52 pm

And MIKEC keeps on bullying, that shocks nobody on the site either.

Bill K.: "So, Manny, do you think we should resign Baker to a new contract? Maybe 10 years? Lifetime?" Never said that, but I think it is amazing the amount of complaints about Baker proportionatley to Hendry. To me it makes no sense, but lots about Cubs and Cubs fans make very little sense to me.

Submitted by pd on Sat, 09/09/2006 - 09:00 pm

I don't think Hendry told the dustbag to keep patterson and perez 1-2 in the batting order, nor order a bunt in the first after a leadoff single, nor start glendone in any games at all. The list could go on and on, but iy's just too easy to figure out on your own.

Submitted by cubswinthepennant on Sat, 09/09/2006 - 09:51 pm

"it is amazing the amount of complaints about Baker proportionatley to Hendry." It's simple to explain. Baker makes dumb moves every day. Hendry doesn't. Baker has a press conference after every game and says dumb things. Hendry doesn't.

"To me it makes no sense, but lots about Cubs and Cubs fans make very little sense to me." -- I have a feeling that lots of everything makes little sense to you.

There's a lot more anti-Hendry sentiments around there than there was 4 months ago MannyTrillo. Wake up.

    cubs sign dan straily...for some reason.  minor league deal.

    welcome back.

    zac rosscup is down in mexico trying to make it happen...maybe they could throw him a contract, too.  junior lake is his teammate.  shore up a bunch of holes with some washups.

    The great thing about going to live sports events is you don't know if you're going to see something historic. Today I went to the Cub game, after putting the liner back in my coat and fishing my Cubs knit hat out of the closet. I needed all that- my seats are in the upper deck, left, so the east wind was in my face. Both teams failed to capitalize on good situations, but both starters did a good job to accomplish this. So, we go to the bottom of the sixth inning. The Cubs tie it up, and then Pete Crow-Armstrong comes up. We all know he would still be in AAA if not for injuries, and future Hall-of-Famer Justin Verlander absolutely carved up the young fellow up in his first two plate appearances. So this time he hits a fly ball. The wind was blowing in and had suppressed several strong fly balls- including a rocket off Altuve's bat that Canario hauled in (does anybody else remind me of Jorge Soler?) , but the ball kept carrying and carrying. 107mph, legit angle and carry. The crowd went nuts, the dugout went nuts. Maybe, just maybe, I saw the first homer from a long-term Cub.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Which was my original premise. They won the trades but lost their souls. They no longer employ the Cardinal way which had been so successful for so long.

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.
