NY Daily News: Piniella to retire at season's end
#26
<!--quoteo(post=106526:date=Jul 20 2010, 02:28 PM:name=MW4)-->QUOTE (MW4 @ Jul 20 2010, 02:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->I can't believe all of the negativity towards Lou. If there is one knock, it's post season performance, but that's mainly the players.
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?
