You know what struck me??
The fact that they even mentioned is a little classless, IMO.

Agreed
"You guys can definitely feel free to BOO Dusty if you so please."
Unprofessional, imo, but like most media outlets, they will do whatever it takes to creat some attention.
Has Dusty ever watched Steven A.Smith? He's taken him to task on numerous occassions, including various remarks about why the cubs have a terrible BA against lefties. I wonder if Dusty thinks this will be a cake walk of an interview, and I hope not. Must-see tv?

I don't want to get into a trivial debate over DB
I'm not a Baker fan, but I do think that everything he says or doesn't say, is scrutinized, and yes there are times that he has double standards and has contradicted himself. If we examine everything you have ever said in your professional or personal life, we could find some contradictions. Its part of life. But, that doesn't mean others have to unprofessional in there dealings with him. Don't stoop to his level, if you think he's classless, unprofessional, etc.

I make no judgments...
Perhaps someone could go and ask the REAL tough questions.

Not for me
I would not take time off. Also I would never go
to boo Dusty or anyone else ( Ok MAYBE Farnsworth
or Todd Huntley when they were Cubs )

Unbelieveable
Perhaps they can do an interview with one of the audience that is barely literate so the world can see the type people that are Cub fans.
With luck Dusty will be gone by then and we can see New Yorkers ask the questions.

Hey...
Since I am also an employee of the company (Disney) that owns ESPN, I checked the in-house e-mail directory. That is her true name.
