I still believe.
"YES! He rips it. Is it high enough? It's gonna be gone! Adam Dunn has done it again. Big #44 can take all day to round the bases here, thats done and gone- lookout dunner they're waitin for ya at home plate." - George Grand
"Did that just happen?" - Chris Welsch
Dusty will crush any hopes with his continual screw ups and Patterson with his continual 0 fors.

1. Patterson leading off
2. Janish batting 2nd
3. Junior still in the 3 hole
4. Phillips in the 4 hole (.285 OBP vs righties and .673 OPS).
5. Letting Affeldt face Glaus. I mean Jesus man. You've got two other lefties in the pen, so it's not like he really needed to stretch out JA. Honestly no excuse for this one.
6. Letting CP hit against Flores. Oh. My. Goodness. Seriously insane.
7. Burton in for a 2nd inning with a huge series coming up against the best team in the league (IMO). Basically making him useless for Friday.
8. Resting the 21 year old Jay Bruce so his boy can play. CP saw 6 pitches in 4 AB's and went 0-4. Bruce sees 7 pitches in 1 AB and hits a double. So didn't Bruce technically get more work in tonight than CP? Maybe he'll need another day off tomorrow.
I hate when people that are watching a game say "Oh I could have made that shot" or "I could have caught that ball," but I honestly believe that I would be a better manager than Dusty Baker. I bet there are many others out there that feel the same way about themselves.
