A Fire Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs Blog. Saturday, July 31, 2004. I just have to put up the picture again, hopefully to be replaced with him decked out in full Cubs attire tomorrow. I just have to say Nomar Garciaparra has been one of my favorite players in all of baseball. It is no surprise that Ted Williams himself loved to watch Nomar hit. The reason is Nomar is a professional hitter, year in and year out he simply hits. So it is no wonder one of the greatest pure hitters enjoyed watching him. It was th...

A Fire Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs Blog. Wednesday, March 31, 2004. Best 3-4-5 hitters in History? Has an interesting post in response to ESPN writer Jim Baker on, "Can you suggest a 3-4-5 combo in baseball history that has the potency of Alex Rodriguez, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield? The Cub Reporter uses MLVr statistical analysis to say yes I can. I can say right off the bat I don't know what MLVr is. So lets start off with last years numbers of Sheffield, Giambi, and A-rod. Now the 2001 Giants. Not ev...

Cubs Pundit: The Circle of Life
http://cubspundit.blogspot.com/2006/09/circle-of-life.html
A Fire Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs Blog. Tuesday, September 05, 2006. The Circle of Life. After tonight it is complete. The Cubs are back to being one of the worst teams in baseball. This is what I said about Rusch when he was re-upped the first time back in 11/20/2004. I am not happy about Glendon Rusch being sign for around $2 million a season. Far too much money being handed to him for being decent for a half season as a starter. Add Todd Hollandsworth into that as well. A few games of big hits and ...

Cubs Pundit: 10/01/2003 - 11/01/2003
http://cubspundit.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_archive.html
A Fire Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs Blog. Thursday, October 23, 2003. Alot of people have discussed the Cubs inability to situational hit. Even going as far as to saying its a direct problem of Gary Matthews. Yes and no. Which is why it boggles my mind on why people said Alex Gonzalez should of been moved back to the #2 slot because he was doing great! Sosa and Alou are the RBI crunchers. They are doing what they are supposed to. Driving in runners. Whether they are on 1st base or bases loaded. This is a re...

Cubs Pundit: Dysfunctional
http://cubspundit.blogspot.com/2006/09/dysfunctional.html
A Fire Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs Blog. Wednesday, September 06, 2006. This is why our team is dysfunctional. August 23rd when Ryan Theriot tried to steal 3rd base and got caught. That shocked us all," said Cubs manager Dusty Baker, whose team fell to 53-72. "Maybe he was overplaying. That wasn’t a good play. That was a bad play, especially with 3-4-5 coming up there. I guess he was trying to be aggressive.". That was a young, a very young, mistake right there.". Theriot took the heat. I want him running ...

Cubs Pundit: Testy

A Fire Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs Blog. Tuesday, March 08, 2005. Come on, it is only Spring Training Dusty. You need to calm down! So when ESPN broadcaster Gary Thorne broached the idea of a closer-by-committee before Monday's 9-4 Cactus League win over Texas, Baker clearly was tired of talking about it. He said. "I've never seen it work. Boston tried it [in 2003]. People are always trying to invent something in the game. The game basically hasn't changed.". Posted by Mike @. Links to this post.

Cubs Pundit: And Back to Cubs Baseball
http://cubspundit.blogspot.com/2005/02/and-back-to-cubs-baseball.html
A Fire Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs Blog. Sunday, February 27, 2005. And Back to Cubs Baseball. Interesting news regarding who is going to play where. One not surprising, the other pretty surprising. First off Hairston it looks like will be the back up OFer to Holly. Like the small clip says this is not good news for Dubois. But who in their right mind actually thought Dubois would even sniff any significant playing time with Baker as our manager? Posted by Mike @. Links to this post. Links to this post:.

Cubs Pundit: Looking Ahead
http://cubspundit.blogspot.com/2005/02/looking-ahead.html
A Fire Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs Blog. Saturday, February 12, 2005. He didn't bring us Danny Kolb, or Aubrey Huff or even Octavio Dotel. In the end Farns brought us Navarro who scouts say has a lively fastball but that is about it. Sounds like a youger Farnsworth doesn't it? The way I see it, there is only one possibility of improving the bullpen before the season starts with a quality player. And that is with Byung Yun Kim. Of the Redsox. The good and the bad. Posted by Mike @. Links to this post. Clark...

Cubs Pundit: Phases
http://cubspundit.blogspot.com/2005/03/phases.html
A Fire Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs Blog. Friday, March 18, 2005. I have not felt much like writing since spring training opened. Just kind of sitting back and waiting for decisions on Dubois who is having a fine spring and listening to the annual talk of Prior and Wood injured again. So what made me write today? Well naturally something regarding Baker and how he may be growing tired of life in Chicago. Great now Desipio message board writers are rubbing off on me. Posted by Mike @. Links to this post.

Cubs Pundit: Geezzzz!
http://cubspundit.blogspot.com/2005/04/geezzzz.html
A Fire Dusty Baker, Chicago Cubs Blog. Saturday, April 23, 2005. Where to begin about the Cubs 4-3 loss to the Pirates today. Well hell lets start with Dusty Baker and his stupid decisions. Pinch hitting a 2-3 Jason Dubois for the anemic Jose Macias! We can't even trust Hawkins to get out a solid but weak hitting little 3rd baseman/utility INF? HE IS OUR CLOSER FOR CHRIST SAKES! If the Cubs and Baker are yanking him against Bobby Hill then this should probably end Hawkins experiment as the closer and let...
