Re: Managerial search update(s) Could it be Dusty?
You guys beat me to it.
I do the best Dusty Rhodes imitation this side of Dusty Rhodes. I've got the pipes for it.

Re: Managerial search update(s) Could it be Dusty?
One dramatic difference though is that Saarloos walks almost twice as many guys as Silva does...

I'd buy season tickets, even while living here in Atlanta, if the Reds hired Dusty Rhodes.

Re: Managerial search update(s) Could it be Dusty?
It's not enough that this team kicks me in the boys 162 days a year, they have to go and intrude upon my pain-free offseason as well...
I guess I'd have to laugh if Dusty Baker got hired. Really, it would be the perfect storm of awful, and you have to respect when the absolute worst possible outcome actually occurs.

Re: Managerial search update(s) Could it be Dusty?
That would be great, right up until the World Series parade and celebration when Dusty turns heel and awards the title to the American League team, drawing a level of heat that Hogan himself couldn't embellish.

Homer's pain in his groin would go to his arm very quickly.

Re: Managerial search update(s) Could it be Dusty?
One point glossed over is that Dusty is a "California Man" and has a school age son wh live ins California, this being his second family and he having spent the majority of his past 30 years in the west has to bode well for those wavering at the thought of Dusty in the Reds dugout.
This tidbit was in the SF Chronicle today, Jenkins is a blow hard, but he does know the Bay Area icons and their personalties Quote:
Also he notes... Quote:
