Lou "Puffy" Piniella

Lou's comment in response to his lack of fire was of course "What do I need to show fire for ? I am not a dragon" Very amusing and it even made the " they said it " quote of the week in SI. Sadly Lou is not showing fire or anything else. I am pretty sure most BCB regulars know I am not fan of Lou's managing but c'mon SHOW SOME LIFE. You may not have fire but in too many games your team is going down in flames and all we get is that you have no idea how to fix it. You got all the lefties you wanted so figure out what to do with them. Try not using Marmol since has no command but most of all act like you care.. I am not a big fan of rants or dirt kicking etc but Lou does seem asleep at the wheel. In honor of of the most famous dragon and Lou's hip hop commercial with Ozzie I am going to call him "Puffy" Piniella from now on. Hopefully he can show some signs of really being engaged and not doing everything off some chart.

Rangers already had the best hitting coach now it sounds like they have the best pitching coach. I would love to poach them both but it ain't gonna happen.

It's official Sammy retiring

I would be a hypocrite if I said he was not one of the best and most exciting Cub players I saw but it was SUCH an ugly ending.
He owned this town and even with corked bat and suspicions of steroids he could have stayed an icon if he had not been such a jerk in the end.

Oswalt does not want to play for WS either

Apparently Peavy started a trend of pitchers with NTCs who do not to play for the White Sox.

Umpires gone wild part 2

Umpires gone wild part 2

Umpire tosses both managers & starting catchers in his FIRST GAME. I have not seen the video but this seems bit much. Apparently the next generation is learning that it is more important to be macho than show restraint and good judgement.

So what if there is a rainout tomorrow ?

Doggie Stalker — Tue, 12 May 2009 19:43:28 -0000

Ok another slow news day topic but I see the weather calls for nearly non stop rain tomorrow which could easily lead to a rainout. The Cubs of course have only one series with the Padres. I have checked both schedules and it appears that there would only be two choices. A traditional DH on Thursday. Since the Cubs had a night game rained out and it would not actually be a night game ( would start at noon) this is probably doable under current rules. Of course the Cubs would lose the sales of a full game which I imagine does not thrill them.

The only mutual day off I see that would not result in either team playing more than 20 games without a break ( which I believe violates player contracts) is June 15 a Monday off day in the middle of interleague play. It would force the Padres to fly back and forth from the West Coast which I am sure would not make them happy but IF it rains out that is my bet for a make up game.

Cubs "HAVE A BALL EVENT"

Cubs "HAVE A BALL EVENT"

Kind of missed that the big player charity event is Wed if anyone wants to meet the Cubs and has $300
