Dusty Baker in charge

See what I get when I play three rookies, a lost. I should not listen to you fans about playing young playas. Today I'll go back to my trusted vets.

I wish you fans would stop booing everyone, it looks bad. Why can't you be laid back like the fans in California. Show up in the third inning and leave in the 7th. I love it when they put "Make some noise" up on the scoreboard to tell fans when to cheer, they never put up "let's make some boos".

OK.

How can players play in that kind of conditions? The can't read the Wall Street Journal with all that racket going on, their portfolio may go down. So show some respect people.

I like the late come from behind wins, means the club will not give up. Burnitz came through again, he is going to be a fine player once he gets some more years on him, he is not up to Neifi territory yet.
I've been hearing complaints about me not playing the young rookies. All I can say to that is to look what happen when I played DuBois. He failed and is not longer a Cub. I don't want that to happen to Murton. I know he can hit, run and catch but damn it, he is only 22 years old. I like Hollandsworth, he is just getting into his prime, so what he went 0 for three and is not batting very while, I still like him.

I got toothpicks older them him.

Young Todd, I would not play him then.

Todd today, almost prime.
Let's bring on those Rockies and kick some young butt.

Now you know why I like crafty veterans. Neifi's Grand Slam win over Cards, suck on that LaRussa you cat loving, sun glasses wearing old goat.




Neifi likes the kids.

Well all it takes for me to get down is to lose two games to the Reds and lose the last one after we were ahead most of the game. Again as I stated all year, it looks like we are just a 500 average team. I just hope we don't embarr-ass ourselves in St. Louie. I hate to lose to that pig LaRussa.


St. Louis Pigs

We are on fire........
Won 8 out of the last 9, three in a row.
I like this winning, to bad we are so far out and almost impossible to make up ground. We play the Cardinals next, if we can win 2 out of 3 then I would think that we have a chance.

We have been playing good ball since Patterson and DuBois have left the team. We should sweep the Reds this series in that homer box they call Great American. I pitty the Reds pitcher having to pitch there.
We just traded Jason DuBois to the Indians, he would be a good DH just don't let him put his glove on. We got 26 year old Jody Gerut, left handed outfielder, to bad he is not 36 I might play him then.

As a rookie with the Indians in 2003, Gerut hit .279 in 127 games with 22 homers and 75 RBI. He dropped off last year to a .252 average with 11 homers and 51 RBI.
Gerut has played in 44 games this season and is hitting .275 with 11 extra-base hits and 12 RBI. He is batting .313 against right-handed pitching. (Chicago Sun-Times)

Another player to sit on the bench.
Damn I hate this stinking pig town, can't wait to leave.

I want to see a 10 game winning streak, that would get us going in the right direction again. When Prior pitches like yesterday, it's hard to not to win. Everyone had a nice three day break, except for Lee and Aramis. I heard that Corey Patterson discovered a flaw in his swing in Iowa. He said that his swing is to long, what the hell did he think Gene Clines and the Sarge were telling him the last couple of months and he just starting to listen a little to late. A big hug for Henry Blanco for yesterday's action, he is just starting to reach his prime, he should be really good when he reaches 40 years old.

Beer of the day:


Damn, that Billy Dee is a ladies man, my hero. I gots to grow my pencil thin mustache back, the ladies love it.
Got to go and get ready for the game, where are my wrist bands at.

I like it when I am not involved with the all star game, I can go fishing for three days and forget about baseball. I'm up in the UP of Michigan, yes the same state as the all star game on the north side. I am happy that the Cubs sweep the Marlins, but wish we could of kept going without a break. Getting rid of Patterson seems to get this team going, especially at lead off. Hairston is doing good, but I would like to see an veteran player in that position, say maybe Lou Brock or Murray Wills.


When I'm here this is what I drink.

This season is over, just sit back and enjoy the errors.
Sent Patterson and DuBois back to Iowa and brought up a couple of outfielders from AA TN.
Expect more changes in the next two weeks.
That's all I'm going to say, right.
Gotta go, in Miami.
