The Race to the Bottom

Well, that didn't take long. Fresh off his triumph of acting like he was a manager of a professional baseball team, Dusty Baker pulled Mark Prior in the middle of the sixth, as the young buck was on his way to a nohitter.

Naturally, the Cubs went onto lose 1-0. "We won the series. It's some consolation," Baker said later.

(Okay, honestly, take every Dusty Baker quote about every loss and substitute "'Shit happens,' Baker said, then shrugged"and tell me if it changes what's actually being said.)
