Dusty's at it again! Sucking:
From Rotoworld:
Adrian Gonzalez-1B-Padres May. 25 - 10:25 pm et
Adrian Gonzalez hit a three-run homer off Edinson Volquez in the bottom of the 18th to give the Padres a 12-9 win over the Reds on Sunday.
A tremendous finish that no one watching DirecTV for six hours got to witness, as Extra Innings cut out two minutes before Gonzalez popped one over the center-field fence. Gonzalez finished the contest 4-for-9 with two doubles. The wild game featured seven homers at pitcher friendly Petco Park. One of them immediately followed a dropped flyball in the outfield, costing Greg Maddux a chance at a victory. That came off the bat of the red-hot Adam Dunn. Dunn, though, wasn't around for extra innings, as he was removed for defense in the ninth. That decision, plus the one to turn to Josh Fogg rather than Bill Bray in a failed attempt to close out a two-run lead in the 11th, cost Dusty Baker's team dearly.
As noted over at the Wellness Center - Corey Patterson led off and played the entire game. He was 0-8. Again from Rotoworld:
Corey Patterson went 0-for-8 in Sunday's 18-inning game against the Padres.
Maybe it's time for Jay Bruce? Patterson became the first Red to go hitless in at least eight at-bats since Eddie Milner in 1984. He's hitting .183 with no walks and one extra-base hit in 60 at-bats during May.
Could you imagine if a rookie (like say Patterson a few years ago...) was performing as such? Dusty might just shoot them.
He really is, in a crowded contest full of various idiocies and vacuities, the dumbest manager out there right now, maybe ever.
In searching "dusty a goddamned moron" on google - I noticed the Lattice came up second! #1 wasn't about Baker. There's something deeply wrong with that.

Dude, it's spelled masturbating. Trust me on this. I know this.
And they lost to the Padres - the worst team in baseball. Just a HORRENDOUS lineup. Only Giles can draw a walk, everybody whiffs. One guy can hurt you, Gonzalez: who doesn't walk, and there's no one batting behind him, so why throw him a strike?
What's more, the minor leagues are pretty much vacant of talent.
This could get ugly, folks.
On da plus side, SD ain't much of a sports town so you can always get a ticket. It's like being on da Sout'Side circa 2004.
Anudder plus: the Toronado Bar just opened - only a 10 min. bus ride away. This has been a SF staple for years - 50 great beers on tap. I was there yesterday on their opening day and inaugurated with a Monk's Ale from Belgium. SD really is a beer city. There are like 20 breweries in the county and many very good beer bars. Blows LA away.
Oh yeah, Dusty: what a brain-dead moron.
I'm Dusty's new Everything Man... man.
