Title: Sweet Lou
Post by: JGrave on April 14, 2007, 11:10:59 am

Up 5-0 in the 5th, Zambrano on the mound, and the 8th and 9th hitters coming up, the Cubs found a way to give up 6 in the inning to the Reds to remain winless at Wrigley.  Pinella lost it in the post-game press conference.  You can find the clip at espn.com in the videos section.

A couple of my favorite quotes from LP:

"I can start to see the ways this team has lost ballgames."

"I have a reliever who is throwing 30/40 foot curveballs."

I know this was posted in another thread but I thought it deserved a thread of its own.

I heard this off-season on an HBO feature on Lou (Gumbel's show, I think) that Piniella had mellowed in his old age and wasn't going to have such a short fuse.  Lou even tried to make it out like the media was exaggerating his previous exploits.  I knew the Cubs would test his newfound patience pretty quickly.  Welcome back Sweet Lou!
