    Smartest career move he has made since being a manager.

    Cubs would send him to an early grave.

    Bunch of stiffs....Really? take a look at the Padres roster lately? Or the Reds? Guess that manager guy must have something to do with it. He's pulled this same s**t for the 25yrs or so he's been managing. He is BY FAR the most overrated manager EVER.

    Good luck to him.

    Do agree with a previous poster though, the Cubs would be better off starting from scratch.

    Lou was a great manager in his day! The man is close to 80 years old and showing early signs of dementia, he should have retired 2 years ago. Farewell Lou, congrats on a great career!

    Hey watch it. Lou Pinella is a loser; we drink our sorrows watching him perform.

    Here's to a fantastic future for the Cubs without this moron.
