Stick a fork in the season. We're done.


Lou needs to find a new line of work.

It's fairly obvious that Lou Piniella doesn't have the fire for it anymore. With the sale of the team at a standstill, and nothing being done to improve the team, Lou just keeps trotting the same inept players out there in hopes that they will play up to their salary. But it.s not working. The players know that they don.t have to perform well and will still be in the lineup. Why break thir rearends if they don't have to? Alfonso Soriano should have been warming the bench for 90% of this season. Ryan Theriot is still living off of last years hustle and now thinks he's a power hitter. I am still trying to remember some small thing that Aaron Miles has contributed to the team effort this year but I'm having difficulty. The pitching staff, with the exception of Lilly and Wells couldn't find the strike zone with a telescope and Zambrano will obviously never grow up. We have Guzman and Marshall in the bullpen. The rest are pretty much useless. But Lou won't bench anyone, Hendry won't trade anyone so for the Cub faithful it's pretty much over. I only hope that the new owners are watching closely. If they are, be on the lookout for a large truck to be backing up to the Wrigley Field Gates.
