I didn't like Barry Bonds or the Giants. I'm not sure why, but as a teenager I just vibed with the Angel's Rally Monkey so much more in 2002.
But once Dusty Baker left I have rooted for him and his teams everywhere else. Last year I was very conflicted about rooting for the Astros, but I was happy for him finally summitting the mountain.
There were plenty of Baker haters when he was on the Reds, but at least I could say this: we were making the playoffs! I haven't really been able to say that since he left.
I'm saddened to lose him and Terry Francona.
