    was a great coach for San Francisco. A players coach and a great guy.

    Dont blame him for the Reds not showing up against the Pirates.

    Thats on the players.

    Wow what a racist comment. Seeing how there's 30 teams in baseball, only 3 black managers and only one team can win, chances are it will be a white manager...

    BTW Cito Gaston won two.

    Of course he will. That's baseball.

    Let's just hope it's a job that doesn't come with expectations. Dusty's better off in like Houston or Toronto.

    In Chicago this guy blew out pitchers arms and he was a horrible managers that no one liked. LaRussa couldn't stand him here in St. Louis. They didn't get along at all period. I am glad he's gone and I hope no one hires him again.

    starting cueto wasnt a bad move, he was 8-2 1.90 era at pnc park. mistake was not pulling him sooner.

    dusty is a good manager and will get another job soon. but his legacy will always be blowing the ws by pulling ortiz too soon and steve bartman.

    Dusty Baker...Anthropological genius....
    Baker stated that black and Hispanic players are better suited to playing in the sun and
    heat than white players. I'm not playing the race card. I'm telling it like it
    is," Baker said by telephone Monday.

    Pete Rose would be the best manager for the Cincinnati Reds

    Cincinnati is a good team but it just seems that they lacked something to advance far in the playoffs

    His nickname was becoming a too accurate description of him in the dugout. Time for him to move on.

    That link has the following included in it from Baker

    It wasn't all about one conversation, of course. Baker quite likely started to sense that maybe his time was up in Cincinnati. Maybe that's why he said what he said.
    "The last couple weeks, I've been getting a rash of hate mail, racial mail,'' he said. "Maybe it is time to go."
    "This is really ugly," he said. "There are all sorts of references to Barack Obama. So now I know where they are coming from. I don't know, maybe people are mad at him, so they don't like the idea of blacks in authority."
    Baker gave the go-ahead for what went down. But there's no question the support was slipping.
    "I pissed somebody off, I guess," he said.

    Jon Heyman should follow up with Baker. Ask him to produce those letters from Reds fans. Not calling Baker a liar, just think he should have shown them when making that kind of accusation of racism
