    Grantland column about five factors that influenced the outcome last night. Reading a couple of them (Reds not doing anything about their regular everyday line-up despite Liriano being absolute murder on lefties this year and some good points on why Cueto shouldn't have been the starter) might either move a person towards firing Dusty or make someone who feels they should feel even more strongly about it.

    You shouldn't want baker fired. Or hope he's fired. You should be hoping they are stuck with him.

    To be fair to Dusty, can't believe I said that, you have to play Choo, Votto, and Bruce, so not real sure what you do about the lineup.

    In response to the OP, Of course Dusty will be black next season.

    I would respond further, but I have an eye exam.

    After my eye exam, I can still confirm that Dusty is indeed black.

    I don't know why I read Facebook comments. People are dumb.

    "Stupid move"
    "Hire Pete Rose"
    "Dusty is a great coach,it ain't his fault that the players don't play hard enough."

    Hopefully terrible mental plate approaches of many Reds players were the big issue!

    Gotta love Dusty breaking out the race card. Good riddance!

    Rare has someone been criticized so much for guiding an imperfect team to a 90-win season
    I'm so sick of hearing stuff like this. How about the Reds looking like complete garbage in the postseason a few times now?
