Dust in the Cincy Wind

Dusty Baker waited 1 season before returning to the managerial ranks. Yesterday, he agreed to a 3 year deal to take over as skipper of the Cincinnati Reds. You wonder why Baker didn't wait longer to see if other openings arose, considering the Reds current state and the ownership's lack of interest in putting a competitive team out there.

Glad to see Dusty managing for a couple of reasons. Always liked him, even as a player- the only player on the dreaded Dodgers that I really liked when the team was filled with a-holes like Garvey. He's also a class act. Maybe the most important thing is we will no longer have to hear him kiss Barroid's ass on BBTN.

Good luck Dusty!
