They basically made the same comment except the Greeks comment was based on a study that had been done and Bakers was based in total ignorance.
Not to mention ESPN could have gotten more out of a turnip during last nights Cards/Padres game.

I know what you are referring to and both Baker and the Greek's comments were stupid. I believe The Greek was intoxicated when he said his, which I don't know if that makes it better or worse.
I agree it was not stellar announcing last night, but we got to learn about Baker's experience in the Arch and how he had been stuck in an elevator elsewhere and that Baker had no clue that Pujols won last year's Gold Glove. Hell, I get to see so few Cardinal games I wish the announcing could have been better, but oh well at least I got to see that 10-run inning.
But your original point is well taken. I think the comments were stupid, but not firable in either case. SO I think the Greek got a raw deal, but I am not so sure that he hadn't rubbed executives the wrong way that they were not looking for an excuse.

Dusty Baker is a total jerk! I used to like him as kid and a Dodger fan, but now I know better. I worked for years with his ex-wife, and she told me about the REAL Dusty Baker.

Dusty Baker should not be allowed near a microphone. Even watching him analyze sports is painful. Perhaps this is why his teams can't perform for him.
