How does Chris Dickerson do it?

How does Chris Dickerson do it? He can play the game of major league baseball with his head crammed firmly up his ass! Dusty Baker is frankly, a kindly old gentleman who wants to see his players succeed, who shields them from intense criticism, and deflects some of their underachieving play. Who wouldn’t want to work for a guy like that?

As a fan however these asinine mistakes can no longer be tolerated. To compound his ineptness Dickerson then drops a ball in the outfield. Even kindly old Chris Welsh (the long time Reds color commentator) could not hide his disgust, and why should he?
Justin Lehr at 32 is pitching his heart out for his major league life and succeeding only to have plays made behind him that would not be tolerated on a high school baseball team. Why should this be sugar coated? Adam Rosales takes 4 steps back on a high hopper, for the love of God Adam, charge the damn ball, ever heard of that one?

Frankly, the not ready for prime time Reds team is beginning to wear very thin. The Reds need Rolen back at third. They need Jay Bruce in left. We even need Ramon back at catcher, no knock on Hanigan who has proved he is a big leaguer but Hernandez is the overall better player, even Dusty does not doubt that.

Gotta love the Cards though, they organize a huge Hal McCoy day for the retiring Reds hall of fame writer. There are worse things than losing to the classy Cards. Since the Reds will once again not break .500, go Cardinals, a team that does it the right way with fans that respect the game and its greats, no matter what uniform they play in or team they cover.
