The Trashtros' pitcher last night became the first pitcher in major league history to give up five home runs in one game in the post-season. Not just in the history of the World Series, but the entire post-season.

Normally a manager will yank his pitcher before that happens as it becomes obvious he isn't throwing effectively. But this is Dusty Baker, who has a substantial documented history of leaving pitchers in too long.

I don't have anything against Baker... but there is a certain amount of anticipated schadenfreude should he come up short of winning a World Series yet again.

He's been the Marty Schottenheimer of MLB, able to turn around clubs that are in the dirt and make them contenders, but never to actually win a ring.
