	A Fan Speaks Out With Darrell Horwitz - MLB On SportzNutz.com
		I liked Dusty Baker because I thought he was the type of guy that a Cub fan would respect, and that for once, the Cubs actually tried to go out and get somebody like when they got Leo Durocher.
		In yesterday’s paper, (August 21) Dusty Baker said, “We were all waiting for Derrek Lee to come back.” The players can not be allowed to think that, they have to be pushed and prodded every day.
		So not necessarily should Baker have done different things as far as line up or changes, what he should have done is let them know he was not going to accept the type of play he was seeing.

		Dusty, please stick to McCarthyism and the ability to play in the sun; at least those don’t sound as ridiculous as the mess you spewed today when talking about the reasons behind the Cubs lack of walks.
