The captions said it was Burl Ives.

It sounded more like Burl Ives to me.

I think it’s actually Burl Ives’ recording from 1945, not Pete Seeger’s from 1957 (or the Tom Waits version from Ironweed or the original Harry McClintock version used in O Brother, Where Art Thou?).

...grandpa? But...you’re dead!

Why is it that the best Bears’ fans can hope for is a coach that can run a competent defense and a constipated offense? Fox reminds me of Lovie.

John Fox has been a head coach for twenty years yet every week the Bears look like 53 guys who just met in the parking lot a half hour before the game.

Don’t confuse longevity with capability. Dusty seems to be a good enough guy, and he can get you a division title, but what has he ever won in October, when it matters?

The Nationals are stacked. My managerial experience stopped at coaching my son’s sixth grade tournament team and I could coach the Nats to 95 wins.

He sucked with the Reds too!

It was all Alex Gonzalez’s fault. He booted the inning killing double play right after the Bartman play. Somehow Alex Gonzalez always seems to get a free pass.

Without a trophy, meaningless. And the fact that he allowed a complete meltdown after the Bartman incident is just more evidence of his suckiness.

You are wrong. Dusty is a huge reason why the Nationals lost the last two playoff series. He was out managed in both years. In 2016, he lost Game 4 even though the Nats tagged Kershaw for 5 runs because he refused to pitch Scherzer on short rest (like every team does with their star pitcher). This year, he refused to…

He’s a great person, but I was hoping they’d let him go. He’ll have time to find another job before next season and he’ll do well.

Phillies fans still think Francona is a shitty manager.

This is all fine and we’ll, but let’s keep in mind we are talking about Dusty Baker here. The latest in the Nationals attempt to hire every manager in history that can’t win with loads of talent. (Remember Davy Johnson? That guy had the mid 80's Mets and only won one World Series. How guys who can’t win with the most…

Counter-take: Dusty has lost 10 straight elimination games in the postseason. While the Nats were good and stable with him at the helm, this team’s stated goal is to win a title, and there’s realistically only one year left to do that. (Maybe 2 if you’re being optimistic). Dusty was not going to win in the playoffs,…

Look, he was clogging up the coachpaths

It will always be Comiskey, just like it will always be Sears Tower, just like it will always be the Marshall Fields Building. Some names are too iconic to change.
