HBT: Reds' Baker fires back angrily at Lowe

Dusty Baker was reached for comment this morning regarding the Derek Lowe stuff. And he let fire with both barrels. John Fay of Cincinnati.com has the story, with these delicious quotes among others:

?I?m not denying nothing. I didn?t order anyone to hit him. I told (Mat Latos) to buzz him and make him uncomfortable. That?s what happened. Nobody hit him. Then he hit our guy ??What he was talking about was something that he said and did a few years. You got to ask him what that was ??Go ask him since he made it public ??The word was whatever he did and said probably there was a good chance he was drinking at the ballpark and he don?t remember what he said or what he did.?

Whoa.

For what it?s worth, Baker tends to be a pretty thoughtful and mild-mannered guy. Quiet, even. So to hear all this, especially the ?he was probably drinking in the clubhouse? stuff suggests that Lowe REALLY pissed him off somehow.

For his part, Lowe said he was done talking and would offer nothing else today. So ? Dusty wins? ?I think Dusty wins.
