    If Jerome Williams doesn't get it done tonite...

    He should be put in the pen and Rusch should start.

    In addition, Baker should be fired if Williams doesn't decrease his era over the next 2 starts and Baker doesn't sit him down....
    This only reinforces what many have believed for some time about Dusty, and I don't mean that he is an overrated manager....

    I would have put this in the Cubs thread, but didn't find it in the first 6 pages...should have searched....
    Regardless, I think all of baseball (at least on this forum) should be aware of how absurdly Dusty manages this team. I do not believe that the Cubs' less than stellar first half is all Dusty's fault, I also blame the front office for allowing our bullpen to turn into bullsh*t, and the players, though to a lesser degree.
    Dusty, however, constantly flies in the face of fact, reason, and good sense.

    But, Lord, that pen is awful. How many games would the Cubs have won in the first half with a decent relief crew? 5 more? 8?

    Dusty isn't responsible for what guys are added to the team... just how to handle them. Unfortunately while the guys in the pen arent good at all... he still hasn't handled it well. I thought he shouldve been canned a while ago because he's one of the several reasons that this is an underachieving team.


    By the way... the Cubs thread is in the Team Thread Forum up at the top

        2 guys the Cubs needed to get rid of in order for them to become Contenders. (This is what I've said 2 years ago)

        1. Sammy Sosa
        2. Dusty Baker

        We lost 1 already, now if we can get rid of the other..

          ***Risking Jinx***

          I know this is only against Pittsburgh and Cincy, but the Cubs lineup seems to be together at the top.
          Hairston-Walker is working out well, and hopefully Michael Barret can do well in the 5 hole. If Ramirez plays like he has over the past month and a half rather than the first, he and Lee will be a very dangerous pair in September.

          Maybe Dennis Eckersley will come out of retirement and save our bullpen....

            Might get Scott Williamson back but who knows how effective he could be. Would be nice to have a set up man and move Wuertz to the 7th.
