"General Dusty" LOL. I'd forgotten those classic old rants.

Update: Buster Olney reports that Homer Baily's pitching arm has committed suicide. Developing...

The Reds will improve. He's not a great in game manager but he can bring a team together. Players seem to like him.

anybody who finds themselves being out managed by Bobby "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" Valentine, should be happy to even have a job.

The Reds?! Was Dusty that desperate to get back in the league?

lets start racking up the guys who complain that Willie pulls his pitchers to quick while ripping Dusty for pushing his pitchers

You will never find a better strategist in baseball than Bobby V.

So now Joe Torre, Tony LaRussa and Bobby Cox are lucky to have jobs?

well, the key word there is always...I liked Bobby but he was just not cut for the game of today, he was probably ill prepared but he would have been when ready better suited for the mid to the late 1980s team, as he played in the generation of the veterans on that squad.

Dog's General Dusty rant the week the Giants came to play the Mets back in 2000 (I think) remains to this day his best, most funniest work. It was classic.
