Dusty-isms

You have to wonder if Dusty Baker purposely says dumb sounding things, or is he just that clueless about how people like me have fun pulling quotes out of context.

"... manager Dusty Baker said. "I don't know what the heck is going on.""

Then, of course, Ryan Theriot provided Dusty with another chance to bag on rookies:

"Monday it was shortstop Ronny Cedeno's ill-advised throw to the plate, which allowed two runs to score. Tuesday, rookie Ryan Theriot attempted to steal third with Aramis Ramirez at the plate and two outs in the seventh, with the Cubs trailing by three runs."That shocked us all," Baker said. "That wasn't a good play."

Theriot was easily gunned down, ending the inning. "

This is why fans are bugged by Dusty. When Theriot does that it's a "young, rookie mistake", but when Neifi Perez ended another loss with a bunt attempt, Baker called it "an agressive play". It's this obvious double standard that pisses fans off about Baker.
