Now this is the way you throw a curve ball

After a brief and unsuccessful outing by Kevin “I couldn’t get an important out if my life depended on it” Gregg, Lou visits the mound.
Lou: “Gregg, get off my mound and hit the showers!”
Gregg: “ummm….yes sir.”
Lou: As he points to the bullpen, “Give me a guy that can throw the ball over the plate without giving up a home run…..and NOW!”

Send in the clowns…

“You there, in the front row! I’ll trade you Milton Bradley for that beer and pretzel. What do you mean ‘no’? What if we cover his salary? No? What if we cover his salary AND buy you another pretzel and beer? Ah forget it then!”
Charlton Presnell December 15th at 11:21 am
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for the Cubs, Lou decides to become a player/manager; and he doesn’t even realize he’s not on the mound for his warm-up tosses.

No Reed. I said to stand within 3ft of Soriano to minimize lazy bloop singles. Thats what playing Left-Center Field is all about.
Daniel December 15th at 3:19 pm
Bring me Rowengartner!

The craziness of the season finally catches up with Lou when he goes to the mound and instead of callin in help from the pen he begins singing…I’m a little tea pot…
Rockett December 15th at 6:29 pm
Lou leads the crowd in the Macarena! Hey Macarena!!
Jenny December 15th at 11:33 pm
You! Yeah, you. You’re in. Have fun managing the rest of this game. I have a date with Miss Cutty Sark.

Lou Piniella went insane today after the 14th blown save in April. After relieving Grabow, Lou did a statue routine, waiting for someone to drop a quarter before moving again.

“I will now show you that this ball and the fans’ confidence in me fall at the same rate.”
Don S. December 16th at 8:32 am
Have you seen my baseball? (ref. What about Mary)
mark December 16th at 1:37 pm
I thought that pinstripes were supposed to make me look skinny.
Justin December 16th at 4:37 pm
“Nah, keep lookin! Kerry’s gotta be down there somewhere!”
Justin H. December 17th at 11:38 am
You’re fired!

“…You put your right hand in and you shake it all about.”
Steve December 17th at 6:31 pm
Sweet Lou’s experimentation doctoring the ball with pine tar went horribly awry.
Leif Olson December 18th at 9:48 am
“I’m cold and I can’t find my pills. A-Ram, I think I’m going to need you to wipe me again…I’ve boo-boo in my pinstripes.”
Lifesize December 18th at 9:48 am
Lesser coaches and managers scratch them during games.
Tim December 18th at 3:59 pm
“Overcoming the laws of gravity I can do, but getting you 2010 Cubs to win is going to be a tougher job”.
Tim December 18th at 4:06 pm
“So what if Joe Girardi won a World Series, the Cubs hired me ‘cos I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve”.

OK, who’s the joker who put gorilla glue on this ball?
Mark Peloquin December 20th at 6:55 pm
Lou discovers that even his yoyo doesn’t work in Chicago.
Loren Shevitz December 20th at 6:58 pm

Christina December 20th at 7:00 pm
“Hey, second baseman, come in and pitch. The pitcher will play first.”
Maegan December 20th at 7:12 pm
“this yo-yo seems to be missing something…”
Beth December 20th at 9:03 pm
Lou was caught practicing for an interview he has for his post-managing job at Six Flags. He’ll be the model for “You need to be as tall as THIS ball to go on the ride.”
Will December 21st at 3:16 pm
Professor Pinella’s Physics 101: “For the last time, I’m telling you that the acceleration of gravity is constant. Here, I bet you Carlos Silva’s salary that this baseball and the feather in my pocket will hit the ground at the same time. What? That only happens in a vacuum? Well the wind’s blowin in off Lake Michigan today…it might as well be a vacuum! If only I could find that dang feather. Hey, Philly Fanatic, give me one of those green ones!”
eric rhymer December 21st at 3:36 pm
