You can be "out to lunch" either a) because you don't care or b ) because you have lulled yourself into a state of ignorance. I think the latter is the case for Lou. He is old.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You're belittling the fact that I want to know where you stand on the topic at hand? I was trying to understand what you were saying. It's not as if you brought up the expression out of the blue and I argued about the meaning of it. It is within context of the conversation and I'm trying to sort out the meaning. In the grand scheme of things I guess it isn't a big deal. But in the same way, neither is the 2010 draft, Ryan Theriot being benched, John Grabow continuing to suck, and every other topic we discuss here.
Now, if there is a difference between "don't care" and "lulling yourself into a state of ignorance" I'm not sure what it is but I'll go with it. Are you meaning that his age has put him into a stupor where he's mentally unable to perform his job anymore?

He doesn't appear to be mentally fit for the job any longer at his age, no. I don't think Lou will ever not care about winning or losing, because that's just his makeup, but there <i>are</i> degrees of caring. There were several times over the weekend where Lou should have argued calls or done something to shakeup the lineup, even after he implied he would publicly, yet he did nothing. Where is his head at?
