It is silly and kind of sickening to see the MSM all of a sudden suck up
(or suck off) Lou Pinella, now that the Yanks won't be hiring him. I saw
one item in one of the local online papers talking about his 3
championships vs. Girardi's total 78 career wins, so I started thinking "I
know he won in '90 with the Reds. When were his other 2?" and I went
through my memory of all the WS champ mgrs since the Yanks won in 1978.
Other than '90, none of them were Lou Pinella. So therefore, 2 of his 3
championships were as a player. In that case, Mr. only 78 wins can also
claim 3 championships. A few years back, another GM was faced with a
similar decision: Should I hire a manager with 2 championships (as a mgr,
which makes him Lou x 2, doesn't it?) or one with 0 (ZERO for you MSM clowns that place way too much value in that statistic) wins as a manager, but a history with this particular team. In this case, this GM picked the 0 wins guy. If you live in Chicago, you know how that
turned out for Kenny Williams.

That's what really pisses me off about this franchise. Joe Girardi is a golden opportunity to bring the right person in to be manager, and as we knew, Hendry's going to fuck it up, because he has some weird man-love thing going on for Lou Pinella. He/they fall in love with the big name manager, and don't bother to bring in better players. It just proves the Cubs don't give a fuck about their fans, unless it's convenient for them, like when they traded away Sosa and Patterson, or held onto Prior, they used that excuse. When they could do something meaningful for the long haul, forget it. Well, I personally won't believe Pinella is the right choice until I see players wearing Cub uniforms jumping on each other at the end of the World Series. And I personally doubt that will happen.
