I think Lou brings a lot to the team that you never see. He's one of those "dumb as a fox" guys. What you see on camera and quotes is what he wants you to see.
No doubt, he's a character, much like Ditka was, but he has overseen the best stretch of Cubs baseball in my lifetime as a Cub fan (almost 40 years now).
He's my Ditka--and it's going to real hard for anyone behind him to replicate this current string of winning.
I do believe that we will end up over .500, and with the right things falling into place (with injuries befalling both the reds and Cards) we could really make a run at it.
Who knows, maybe this announcement immediately lights a fire? (also could be gas on it as well).
The guy we need is Dave Duncan, even just as a Pitching coach--I hate the guy, but he sure performs miracles on pitchers.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
was it lou or was it the payroll?
