    Dusty may have pneumonia

    http://marksheldon.mlblogs.com/2012/...g-chest-x-ray/

    Reds manager Dusty Baker left Wrigley Field for a local hospital Wednesday afternoon. A team spokesman said that Baker was going to have a chest X-ray to rule out pneumonia.

    Baker, 63, departed the ballpark in street clothes just over two hours before his Reds were set to play the Cubs. Bench coach Chris Speier will manage the club if Baker does not return by game time.

    That does not sound good. Hopefully it is just a cold.

    Geez. My 17 year old daughter has bad bronchitis right now. My mom just had open heart surgery today to replace her aortic valve and repair another valve (currently in ICU recovering). My niece contracted mono.

    Weird Summer weather. July was like the usual August this year, extremely hot. August was hot, but not as hot as usual. September seems to be getting milder than usual.

    I think the changing weather is doing people in.

    I spent most of Friday-Monday in bed with flu like symptoms. My friends in Virginia had it as well, which is probably where I got it from.

    Hope you feel better.

    I have several friends who thought they simply had a cold, and now it's turned into a bad, coughing bronchitis-type thing, too.

    Good luck to you and all who are battling sickness. It can wear you down.

    Hopefully Stubbs and Valdez don't come down with it.

    Pneumonia and Bronchitis is nothing to mess around with. Glad to see Baker went ahead to the hospital today to get it looked at.

    Amen. I got pneumonia five years ago when I was 21 and in great health, and it destroyed me. Was really scary.

    I had my son at the hospital on Sunday for croup. His lips turned blue he was having such a hard time breathing. Get home to Cincy, and relax until Monday Dusty.

    It can really bring you down. I use to get Bronchitis or Pneumonia (couple times BOTH) at least once a winter. It sucks, many days I don't remember because of it. I hope Dusty gets well soon!

    I heard in the post game that he has had a history of irregular heartbeat and that he'll probably miss tomorrow as well.

    Not good. Dusty and I are the same age, but I remember my father who had the same problem at age 64. Shortly thereafter, he had a heart attack. He lived 8 years, but couldn't work. Lots of stuff to think about, but his health is all important right now.

    I suggest that Speier not use Ondrusek or Arredondo in any crucial situations in tomorrow's game, in case Dusty is watching. No need to put any extra stress on his heart
