Funny, FUNNY stuff:
Reds manager Dusty Baker has already decided he doesn't like Joey Votto's approach at the plate. The approach that led to a .321/.360/.548 line and 17 RBI in 84 at-bats following his callup last season. "He needs to swing some more," Baker said. "I talked to him about that. Strikeouts aren't the only criteria. I'd like to see him more aggressive." Baker doesn't want Votto, Adam Dunn or anyone else taking called third strikes. "I really, really hate the called third strike," Baker said. "I hate that. You're guess and you ain't ready to hit." That Scott Hatteberg rarely strikes out makes Votto a particularly risky pick this year.
Hatteberg also takes a lot of pitches though. Dusty might be driven insane. Anyone seen Randall Simon lately?

For the sake of the CQ's I hope that the dReds trade Dunn.
How does this man have a job? Seriously. I rank it thusly:
People Who Make Money Doing Something Somebody Else Should Be Doing to the Point Where It's Just a Goddamn Shame:
1. Obviously - Bush/Cheney ("Dick" and Dick)
2. Dusty Baker (over Isiah by a hair)
3. Isiah Thomas (almost overtook Dusty with his boorish sexual harassment - but he's more entertainingly buffoonish than Dusty - his incompetence, while more dramatic and more telling than even Dusty's is just not, as oblivious. I think Isiah knows how bad he is and is just hanging on for dear life and dollars - this self-awareness means something)
4. Rudy Giuliani ("America's Mayor"? - how about just, "asshole"?)
5. Antonin Scalia - his attempts at dignity (with those wire rimmed glasses and "gravitas" in speaking appearances in auditoriums full of fawning jr. fascists) are akin to a perp hiding behind his jacket. He is another nightmare from which we try to awake.
6. Editors. All of these bastards who keep greenlighting books by morons, fakes, pseudo-intellectuals and would-be cultists - not to mention Ann Coulter. They are spawn-sucking scum who use the same logic to justify their choices as drug dealers do.
7. Ann Coulter - I would rather be sucked off by a skull.
8. Elmo - It's no wonder we have such a spineless generation of swine. Growing up on Elmo is like being fed formula rather than the mother's milk. Except you find out later it's not formula at all - it's godddamn hamster milk.
9. M. Night Shamalayan or whatever. He makes movies with all the ability and subtlety of a dirty joke about a rabbi, a stripper and Osama bin Laden.
10. Robert Nowak/Charles Krautheimer et al - their abilities to form words out of letters, and occasionally sentences out of words never quite coalesces into the realm of sentences into cogent thoughts and ideas. They're like bad guys in children's books. They have all the redeeming features of a whore with visible boils - in the realm of at least you know what you're getting.
Dusty Baker - he can't even suck the worst. But it's hard to do that right now. Historically hard.
That kinda sums it up. The players love him though!
