He's carrying an awful lot of baggage for the lousy manager that he is

The guy wins 191 games in '03 and '04 and, now, because he's saddled with a mediocre pitching staff, injuries to Bonds and Benitez, and has to manage his way around a lineup that has included such stellar dogcrap like Michael Tucker, Edgardo Alfonzo and Ray Durham he's now a "lousy manager"?

Things have been total crap this year, and Alou has at times made questionable decisions, but it hasn't been all Felipe Alou's fault.
