July 6, 200322 yr Dusty hasnt seen him pitch but he cna view some tapes of Dontrelle and he will see what how good this ked really is....very poor excuse by Dusty.
July 6, 200322 yr Exactly right... ughhhhh how many all stars did the cubs have two right? prior and wood jesus christ wood is 8-6, with an era in the mid 3's dontrelle's is in the low 2's dontrelle is 8-1
July 6, 200322 yr Author Can the 32nd player be a pitcher??? :mischief2 WILLIS!!! WILLIS!!! WILLIS!!!!!!!!!
July 6, 200322 yr The fact we only got 1 all-star makes me sick, but maybe it's a little extra motivation for our guys who got snubbed.
July 6, 200322 yr Author Harold Reynolds seems miffed that DW was snubbed, Gammons said same about Sea Bass Interesting...
July 7, 200322 yr The 5 players vying for the last spot are Benito Santiago, Orlando Cabrera, Geoff Jenkins, Corey Patterson, and Luis Castillo. Castillo's been solid, but Pudge or Agon deserve to be on this list. This was a horrid all-star selection process.
July 7, 200322 yr And also!!! I DON'T WANT TO VOTE FOR LUIS CASTILLO AS THE 5TH MAN! I WANT DONTRELLE, OR PUDGE, OR ALEX! This is wrong, it's unjust. We had 3 LOCKS for the AS game, and 1 makes it. I thought it could be argued for us to have 4 AS's, and we have 1. Take RUSS ORTIZ out and putin Dontrelle! I just hope Kevin Brown says he's injured so DW will go... This is horrible for the game of baseball...
July 7, 200322 yr Author Does Chicago have any players up for Rookie Of The Year? I wonder if Dusty snubbing him is an attempt to keep Willis out of media spotlight to decrease his chances of winning the award...Less chances Dontrelle has to keep the media hype going to help his cause
July 7, 200322 yr No, there is MORE contreversial hype about Dontrelle because he isn't in rather than vice versa...
July 7, 200322 yr dusty baker said that one of the reasons why he didnt pick d.w. was because, " he has never seen him pitch" f*** him but he sees kerry wood pitch every fifth day so thats why he picked him, f*** dusty Dusty is a lying sack of sh** The Cubs and the Marlins are going to play tomorrow and I believe DW is gonna play on Tuesday. Don't you think he is already seeing videos of DW for scouting purposes? He seem very uncomfortable responding to the question about DW. . . Politics played a piece into this crap. Dusty wasn't going to make the Cubs FO look bad because they traded a Rokie All Star. CUBS and Dusty Baker :fyou
July 7, 200322 yr Read the article on ESPN by Jason Stark. It says that Dusty was lobying for all the current/former players of his that he could. Why do you think Ortiz made it? Wood? Yea...
July 7, 200322 yr DW should have made it but whatever..... Ill take a sweep of the Cubbies to shut his a** up maybe an injury here or there and DW gets in....
July 7, 200322 yr The All Star game doesn't count! World Series home field advantage is it, only like 3 of the last 10 series have gone seven. I'd rather have rested players, who won't get hurt than lending them to the NL All Star team. Lowell is enough.
July 7, 200322 yr Lowell is enough. That's not the point. The point is, it shouldn't HAVE to be enough. maybe an injury here or there and DW gets in.... Brown?
July 7, 200322 yr who knows.... Dusty's reasoning isnt that bad(although he sounded like he was making it up on the spot).... Kerry Wood was 6th in voting from his peers.... Chacon got hurt, Wood moves up a slot... makes sense it stinks but its no big deal
