March 23, 200521 yr Som much for the flubs using him as lead off hitter if he is going to look that bad swinging at pitches in the dirt that is not the mark of a lead off hitter Tom
March 23, 200521 yr he's always been that way, Baker's a fool if he doesn't have Hairston hit leadoff.

That's my bad I didn't even realize I placed it here until after I posted it. I am still getting use to the site Is there anyway I can move it out of here Tom

March 23, 200521 yr i remember last year you could always strike him out with a fastball at the shoulders or eyes. he must have added this low strikeout to his arsenal

March 23, 200521 yr 11 K's, 0 BB in 15 games. Who's stats are those, some over-hyped Cubs pitching prospect? f*** no! They're Korey Patterson's.

March 23, 200521 yr Patterson has always looked silly on the 52 foot curve. Apparently he thinks this is cricket or something and you can hit the ball off the ground.
March 24, 200521 yr QUOTE(AirScott @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 02:45 PM) he's always been that way, Baker's a fool if he doesn't have Hairston hit leadoff. Baker's an imbecile. He has apparently made some kind of promise to Hollandsworth that he's gonna be the primary left-fielder. Hairston is the better option, in my opinion. He's the ONLY leadoff hitter they have, and would cause trouble on the bases, which would give Walker and Garciaparra better pitches to hit. But that's OK, let Baker mismanage the position players like he already mismanages the pitchers. One more disappointing season and Toothpick Dude will be s***canned.
March 24, 200521 yr It's amazing Baker has lucked into as much success as he has. I swear the guy is the worst manager in baseball.

I swear the guy is the worst manager in baseball. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The guy has had players like Barry Bonds, Jason Schmidt, and Rob Nen. He doesn't have those guys on the Cubs. But I still don't understand why Baker is so overrated as a manager.
