Dude, what the fuck are you talking about? Lou isn't a scapegoat. He sucks. Ramirez sucks, Lee sucks, Hendry sucks, the whole team sucks. I'm not making Lou out to be a scapegoat, but he IS a part of the problem. A big big part. A huge part. Enormous.
The funny thing is, since the season started, I've rarely posted anything about the Cubs, positive or negative. To say I jump on anyone is misguided for anything is misguided. I barely ever even talk about the Cubs anymore.
But i do read, and every time i read anyone say anything negative about this team, you inevitably jump in and defend anyone who's getting ripped. It's a constant, like the river flowing to the sea.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm sorry I called you a grumpy fuck.

OK, first off, calling me a grumpy fuck was the least of my concerns. I've been called a lot worse, often by my own family.
Second, Lou isn't a scapegoat. That would imply that I'm blaming him for everything that's wrong with the team. I'm not doing that. But seeing as this thread is about Lou, I feel compelled to voice my opinion about him. Had the thread been "Trade Ramirez" or "Fire Hendry", I would have done likewise. Lou isn't the sole reason the Cubs suck, but he is a big part of it. His senile old grandpa act has worn thin.
Third, I was all for the Lou hiring when it went down. Since then, I've been disappointed, much the same way I was with Dusty (who I was also glad we signed at the time). Every year since he was brought on, my disappointed has increased. I'm at the point now where I just wanna see him disappear.
Fourth, if you look at my post, quoted in this post, you'll see a sentence where I used the words "is misguided" twice. One of them doesn't make sense. What happened there? Why did I type those words twice? I did that at school, so drugs weren't a factor. What was I thinking?
