Sweet Lou
In other sports news, the Cubs hired Lou Piniella as their manager. This might work; it might not. Nothing has worked for the Cubs for 98 years, but maybe this will. I am not pleased, however, that Lou wants the Cubs to go after Alex Rodriguez.
One of my favorite memories growing up was when the Cincinnati Reds won the 1990 World Series, and that team was managed by Lou Piniella. I am pretty sure that there are certain people who still have a special place in their hearts for Eric Davis (still my all-time favorite player), Todd Benzinger, Jose Rijo, Joe Oliver, Hal Morris, Tom Browning, The Nasty Boys and, of course, Chris Sabo:
Piniella, I think, is pretty famous for his temper. Next year I want to go to Cub games just due to the off chance Lou Piniella might throw a base again:

I've got an Eric Davis rookie card that I'd be glad to sell you. For a while it looked like he had Hall of Fame potential, so I thought the card would eventually be worth a good deal of money. But he really didn't sustain his early promise, so I won't exactly be retiring on the proceeds from selling the card now.
