Dusty in Cincy

[Frayed Knot]

Dusty Baker named new manager for Cincinatti.


I find that kind of surprising. You probably have to go back to Piniella to find the last time Cincy coughed up big bucks for a skipper.

Wow.
Well, a manager like Dusty really should be managing somewhere.
Glad to see him back on field level.

Dusty is too old-school for my taste.

I like old-school ballplayers. Managers not so much.

Not a coach I would want anywhere near a team I support, IIRC Bobby V outmanaged him badly in the 2000 NLDS.

Thankfully, the basepaths in Cincinnati will now go unclogged. No more pesky walks for Adam Dunn.

Maybe they'll sign Neifi Perez.

Yikes. That's an org that doesn't get it.

(now watch them win the WS to prove us smartypants wrong)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fewer than 10% of Internetty Reds fans approve!

Nice discussion board btw: How about the threadstarter? Hmmmmm

The misery will continue for Reds fans. He is a horrible manager.

I can't wait to see those close-up dugout shots of him spitting sunflower seeds like a machine gun again.

ewwwwww, that was nasty.

I remember Baker for his toothpicks more than the seeds.

[Guest Edgy DC]

What do they have against Girardi? What does anybody?

That's just scary...

I like the fact that they have two boards, one for high-quality posters (Old Red Guard) and another for the slobs, but we can barely maintain enough members to generate a multi-page IGT.

Damn bunch of elitists, those Reds fans.

"...but we can barely maintain enough members to generate a multi-page IGT."

We don't need a second board for the CPF, we're all elitists.
