Ann Killion of the SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS brings up a good point: Why is nobody going after Lou Piniella for being 0-6 in the playoffs, while Dusty Baker would’ve never escaped such criticism.
Tim McCarver calls Manny Ramirez “despicable” in an interview, as reported by THE BIG LEAD. Which would be less awkward if McCarver didn’t have to cover Manny’s team for the NLCS. Maybe Scooter the Talking Baseball can help us with the meaning of “dogging it” to help Tim prove his point.
