BASEBALL: Where Is Shawn Estes When You Need Him?
Dusty Baker blames the cold weather for Carlos Zambrano's bad outing on Opening Day.
Comments
I don't think Dusty was really blaming the cold weather. He was just covering for his pitcher who wasn't man enough to face the reporters after a bad day.
He could learn a lot from John Franco, who stood there, and acted with class whether he did well or not.
