    Don't forget to bring up his coaches at the amateur level who abused the hell out of his arm, too. Wood's arm was overworked his whole life and he had an extremely violent motion. I hate to say it, but I think Baker gets a bad rap on that one.

    I agree. There is plenty of other evidence that proves Dusty Baker is a complete fucking idiot.

    Dude.

    True. Ask my buddy the Reds fan about his approach with Votto and Bruce.

    Hmm, just yesterday you called someone a jackass, because they posted something similar to what you posted on one of the fantasy baseball threads. But, yet, here it's alright.

    Gotta love your double standards and your obsession.

    It saved Smoltz's career.

    I wish I had a friend who was a Reds fan so I could remind him Dusty Baker is his manager on a daily basis.

    All is well if they can just get the fly-by-his-jawbone Mark Cuban in charge. Like with the Mavs, he'll let them tease you like you've been painfully teased for a century, but come up short. But just think of it this way - in a few years he'll do something stupid and make you forget all about Steve Bartman.

    That was on the same thread, not pulling it out to start its own thread. There is a difference.

    And just to be clear, I'm one the one who dragged that crap over here.

    Edit: One more thing. Chef was kind enough to acknowledge the db when it was pointed out. You, on the other hand, took it as another opportunity to start shit.

    Now, can we please stick to baseball? Feel free to send me nasty PM's if you feel the need to vent.

    I'd put the blame on his high school coach for riding him like a rented mule. A 17-year-old arm can't take that kind of abuse.

    Seriously, I don't know what to think of the move. I love Kid K (better than typing I love Wood ...), but Marmol has the stuff to become a dominant closer. I guess, when in doubt, you go with the vet.

    I have a feeling every NL Central team is going to be full of closer fail this year. The Cubs because Piniella won't decide on one, everyone else because their closers blow.
