But I guess me posting this comment sort of makes me the cauldren ripping on the pot for calling the kettle black. Or possibly I'm throwing stones from a glass house into a crystal one. Either way..... :lol: I must say, I’m sort of disappointed that there hasn’t been any recent posts from Maryland that unreasonably slam posters for reasonable comments.

Not that I thought it would happen. The Brew Crew might be getting tight again.

Every single player has a BA above our lead off batter!!!! Does anyone doubt that Dusty Baker has a distorted sense of reality? I think Boob Castaloony and Walt Jerketty are just going with it for now as I read somewhere in the past that Dusty wants a lot of control in his position. I'd say at mid-season next year when they're at the same level they were in 2008, we'll see changes. I've seen some bad managers in Reds history but Baker just flat out defies reality...I like most people but I really hate Dusty Baker, I really hate him...I know it's not right but I really do!!! :mad: Did anyone take a look at the bench?

It seems like we have enough guys with lines like his, although his OPS is higher than most of our lineup (Bruce, Phillips, EdE, Keppinger). It's not a problem to have guys like that in the lineup, but an entire lineup of them is not a playoff team. The holes we have need to be filled in the offseason by something more than hole-pluggers if we're actually going to contend in '09 (we're not going to contend in '09)... For sure, Jim.
