Say it aint so!

Apparently Dusty might be thinking of Farnsworth as closer.

After Hawkins walked Jim Thome leading off the ninth inning Sunday and watched him turn into the winning run, manager Dusty Baker was asked whether he'd consider someone else, like Kyle Farnsworth, as the closer.

"I don't know," Baker replied, declining to give Hawkins a vote of confidence. "It's too soon [after the loss]."

I don't fault Baker for considering Farnsworth as a closer because he hasn't seen the the implosion the previous 3-4 times he was named as the Cubs closer and bombed. You think Hawkins is bad as a closer? You thought Joe Borowski was terrible? Wait till Farnsworth is named closer and let the fire works begin.
