Dusty Baker fired; Obama a stalker? Cano a deadbeat Dad.

Close games yesterday. The NL could have two quick series.

Sox/Rays this afternoon.

About effing time. Good riddence, Crusty

I may be in the minority here, but I never saw Baker as a good manager. I see him as a guy that was easily out-managed, and could never get the most out of his players. I put him in the same class as Lou Piniella. I thought these guys were more lucky than good.

Who is the next manager fired? We already have seen Sveum and now Baker drop. My bet is Ron Washington.

Baker squandered talent the entire time he was in Cincy. I know Giant fans aren't necessarily his biggest supporters either.

His game time decisions just leave you feeling

The woman who was killed yesterday near the Capitol apparently had a history of mental isues, and the report is she may have thought that Obama was stalking her.

As for Cano, the mother of his 3 yr old son in the DR says that Cano is a deadbeat dad and very cheap. She is suing him for more child support. There was a report that Cano's lawyers tried to bully her into signing an agrement that would pay her $600 a month in child support.

This clown is making $15mm, and looking for $30mm/year on a new contract, and he can't pony up for his kid? What an asshole!

Not many know what to do with Kershaw, and the road doesn't get easier with Greinke on tap next.

I see the Braves and A's as being very similar. Both K a helluva lot, and they need the HR ball to score runs. The problem with that strategy is that when you face the better teams in the playoffs, with presumably better pitching, those offenses go in the tank. See the 2012 Yankees as a recent reference.

I think when a lot of payers and their agents get ready to negotiate with Brian CASHman, the conversation starts off something like this:

agent: Hey Brian, let's talk about that new contract for so and so. I know this great bar that makes the best margueritas.

CASHman: Hey....I LOVE MARGUERITAS!!!

Next thing you know, someone just hit the lotto!

i strongly disagree with the amount of money child support is paid. but for a guy making 15mill/yr, he should paying a lot more than 600/month

although, 600/month is sufficient funds for child support.

 

[Brocktagon]

so i'm paying more for my kid than robinson cano?

Off to a rollicking Friday start.

dusty baker gets good, talented teams, gets them into the playoffs, and then his brain apparently freezes up. I have no other explanation on why or how he can get three different teams into the post-season and have virtually nothing to show for it other than a WS loss and "Steve Bartman."

But he'll get another job.

I was hoping that Kershaw would have an off night but he was sharp as usual......It would be nice if Greinke would continue his playoff struggles

"Heads roll often, but they don't roll far."

By process of elmination, we can be sure that he will NOT be returning to Chicago, who have their eyes on Girardi and have already suffered through one of Dusty's tenures. The Yankees wouldn't touch him, even if Girardi left for the Cubbies...Boston, Tampa, Baltimore are all good...Mets, Braves, Phillies seem to be set - does anyone know if Sandberg is staying with Philly, for sure? Kansas City just extended Yost...Dodgers, Cards, Pirates are all set...ditto for the Tigers and Cleveland.

The only places I can think that might want him would be Washington, The White Sox, Seattle, or the Angels??? I have no idea if they're going to keep Scioscia around. Again, the guy gets opportunities with talented teams, so I could see him going to Anaheim, having them in the playoffs within 2 or 3 years, then getting beat in another LDS and fired. Again.
