I should say he is one of the Worst Managers in all of Baseball. I've actually known he was a bad in game manager, since the World Series with the Giants. Just last season made me forgive that, even though he brutalized Prior. It is however Cubbie tradition to kill your pitchers. Baylor did it to the bullpen and Dusty thought it would be fun to do it the most ****ing important thing on our team the Starting rotation. This year he picked on Zambrano, who is a big Kid, I do mean kid. Someone should have straighten him out but not Dusty.
Dusty doesn't want to listen to anything. It's not just Moneyball. It took him all season to drop SamME Sosa down in the batting order. "He's a warrior, but he is an emotional one" WTF Sammy is a clubhouse cancer, beats his wife too. And when the players took it upon themselves to attack the media, stupid Baker did nothing. Hell, he probably encouraged it. Save Mariotti who thinks he gains cred by bashing Chicago teams. The Media in Chicago are downright homers.
Recently he had a sit down with Steve Stone because Steve transgressed when he pointed out that Chicago was playing bad fundamental baseball and a few other correct observations. Steve was biased toward the Cubs!! Now the rumors are that they're going to run him out of town. Leaving ‘Rah-Rah I couldn't even get a Job with the Cards’ Chip Caray. They'll probably bring in Santo, who I love as a player but can't stand in the radio booth, to do color commentary. Bullshit. Also Steve Stone helped Dusty get his job with the Giants. It's not like the Giants went down hill without Dusty.
Hendry did a decent Job building the team. Sure he needed a lead off hitter and he couldn't get a replacement for a closer. Not that Dusty improved the situation any when he kept throwing Hawkins out there to close. You could of course argue that he didn't have anyone else. But he didn't even try to find anyone else on the team or from the minors. I can think of a few possibilities. I just hope Hawkins recovers and returns to being one of the best set up men in the league.
My point though is that Dusty took a team with tons of talent and failed miserably. When things went wrong, Dusty didn't fix them he was too worried about the psyche of the team. What a moron. I'm going stop. 
PS. I would have done this on cubs board but they are either to depressing or over run with Card and Stros trolls.
