Cubs manager Dusty Baker to learn fate on Monday

I think they should make him a starting pitcher. Have him throw 200 pitches a game. See how he feels.

'LMAO'

"Baker's four-year contract is expiring, everyone in Chicago hates him, and Cubs fans pretty much think that playoff season was a fluke now."

Sha-na-na-na na-na-na-na hey hey hey goooddbyyyeeee.... so long you talentless hack of a "manager"... Obviously I was absolutely exstatic (sp) as a Cubs fan when I heard this news... he gone......... long gone!

I don't think the entire mess in Chicago was Dusty's fault (though I like the 200 pitches a game idea...). Some of the blame has to fall to the Tribune Company, which owns the team. As cheap as that company is (and not just with the Cubs--they recently acquired the Los Angeles Times and sweeping cutbacks are already being made), it's no wonder the product on Wrigley Field is lacking. Though for the record, I don't blame Bartman for the 2003 NLCS collapse; I blame Alex Gonzalez for not fielding that grounder later in the inning, and the team for not closing out that game or the next one. Cub fans need to let go of the meaningless scapegoats.
