Celebrating is one thing, but when you have to run out the starting lineup for the Louisville Bats last night against the Astros when you are supposedly trying to get the second seed in the playoffs is a bit insulting as a fan. Especially after this brilliant quote from Dusty:
“I imagine they didn’t get much sleep. The way they were partying, there’s probably a few headaches,” Baker said. “‘They get a day off today but I told them to be ready to go in the game, just in case. Most of them will be back in there tomorrow.”
Not to go on an anti Dusty rant since there's enough of those on the Enquirer's website, but this "player's manager" crap is annoying. Isn't it his job and the player's responsibility to be ready for the game the next day instead of hitting up the bars all night? It's as bad as the players that whine and complain about the attendance at the games. When there are people that need to spend their money to pay the rent, buy food and keep the lights on god forbid they don't manage to have enough left over to spend watching people that get paid 2-3 times their yearly salary PER GAME! Hey, if they are too hungover to play why not just give them the day off with pay while you're at it. Of course if a normal person called in to work hungover and expected to be paid for the day off they would probably be fired, but nobody accused the players of being in touch with reality...
