When does he stop getting chances?



I remember when I used to think I hated the Reds and then discovered it was only because of Dusty.

I guess he's wishing he had a losing season so he could have gotten a 4-year extension.

Not quite the same situations, are they?



The Nats came in loaded for bear. The Pirates not so much.

It might be an interesting match. At least from over here, it seems that the toughest thing about running that team would be handling all of the massive egos.

Okay if they do that how many prospects do they have to give up to move him?

I was actually surprised they hired Baker in the first place. It seems like his old school style is on the way out for GMs.

Guess their owner like most other owners has different expectations than Mr. Nutting.

I don't think we give Hurdle enough credit for being really clever. Now Girardi is gone as well.

It appears if you do well but don't quite win, you're on shaky ground. That Hurdle is way too clever for that.

That's a shame for Girardi. That Yankees team can be very good for the next few years.
