<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <!--quotec-->Now it's anyone's guess as to whether Ryan will be called up at all. Asked after the game if the Cubs have considered it, Piniella gave a look of disbelief.
"We've got two lefties now," he said. "We've had one all year, and now we're going to have three?"
So that's a "no?"
"I don't make that decision," he replied. "I haven't seen Ryan pitch or throw. Whoever is watching can make those determinations."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And when asked about thinking of changing closers he said, "Why should I?"
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Lou really makes me scratch my head sometimes. So, Ryan is pitching well down in the minors and we're just gonna dump him right when the bullpen is starting to look shaky at best again? Wow, this organization is rudderless...
