    He’s older than dirt.
    I don’t know why he’s taking this job it’ll be hostile and vicious everyday he’s on the road.

    I thought he'd finally been put out to pasture. Now that Baker's managing the Astros cue:

    -having your worst hitter get the most plate appearances because he's "gritty"
    -having good hitters bunt a runner to 2nd base
    -burning out pitching arms
    -blurting out nonsense worthy of Grandpa Simpson
    -the end of the Astros making a run at the World Series for the near future

    Dusty on Heat & Minorities


    "It's easier for most Latin guys and it's easier for most minority people because most of us come from heat. You don't find too many brothers in New Hampshire and Maine and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Right?" he said with a chuckle.

    "We were brought over here for the heat, right? Isn't that history? Weren't we brought over because we could take the heat?"

    "Your skin color is more conducive to heat than it is to the lighter-skinned people. I don't see brothers running around burnt," Baker said before the Cubs beat St. Louis at Wrigley. "That's a fact. I'm not making this up. I'm not seeing some brothers walking around with some white stuff on their ears and noses."
