I'm Just Sayin'

More pure brilliance from the Con Man of the Cubs:

"I've never seen that. (Nomar Garciaparra) hits the guy in the helmet, and they get two runs."

Ye of short memories.

"I think one of the primary obstacles (to winning consistently) is the element of the wind and its direction. That can change the outcome of the game. Some days the ballpark giveth, and some days the ballpark taketh away."

So, a coach should tell his guys not to swing for the fences, right? Or maybe Dusty is blaming the GM for getting him the wrong type of players? He'd never pass the buck onto Jim Hendry. Right?

"I think you have to be more disciplined. I think it's more conducive to clean-living guys with families than it is with single guys who like to hang out and stuff. … There would be some guys still here, not to mention any names, if we played more night games and they were more disciplined."

Solution. Move the club to New York where teams have been successful, certainly due to the lack of late night distractions.

"People say, 'Aw man, I wish you guys wouldn’t have given up those last 2 runs or whatever, the over-under is messed up.' No, it's true. Gambling is big now and it's affected, I think, the way people look at the game and think."

I did hear Mac, Jurko and Harry say they liked the Rockies with 7.5 paying 114 last Friday on "Who Do You Love!"

A lot of fans wouldn't come out in different place, especially with the two teams playing today. We're very appreciative.

This is the only true statement he made. If people didn't show up (I blew off Tuesday's game), he and his bosses would be launched.

It seems Dusty's not too dumb. He says innane things to take the focus off his record, yet still leaks out the truth when it comes to his own income.

He gets it. Too bad the bulk of 3,099,992 fans don't.
