So they drive through Columbus, and they have to get out of the car and buy a map. Wow, if they had missed the game that would have been embarrassing, but maybe it wouldn't have been a bad idea to miss tonight's game.

[JimSorgi]

lol, that's awesome

[minnesotacubsfan]

jesus..the senile men and a google map...lol

[David]

everyone acting like Sinatro is this old guy.

[Yanksfan1523]

Hysterical.

[Careless]

Teams should provide them with GPS

[cubbyvirus00]

ya seriously, how do they not have a GPS?

[NCCubFan]

I was listening to the game on XM radio (unfortunately it was the Reds feed) while watching the Ball State-Navy game on television. The Reds' announcers were talking about it. It was definitely hilarious. Considering that Lou once managed the Reds you'd think he'd know where Cincinnati is.

He knew just fine. Sinatro got them lost.

 

The whole thing brings significant amounts of :lol:

[chuckywang]

I thought this thread would be about criticisms of Piniella and Sinatro.

[DubCub]

Lou had one of his "SENIOR MOMENTS" lol.

[Fro]

This boggles my mind, living right in-between Chicago and Cincy.

I know! Lou must have passed out as soon as they got on the Dan Ryan, and I don't know what exactly they google mapped, but when I do it tells me to take 65-465-74. Pretty straight shot.

[Moises a loo]

That's what they get for trying to avoid southern Indiana. Now buy a GPS and find the team we've been watching all summer, please.

[Cynosure]

When Lou is done managing, he needs a reality show.

[Bruce Miles]

ya seriously, how do they not have a GPS?

 

They wouldn't know how to work it.

[MPC]

is it weird that they didn't fly with the rest of the team?

[Little Slide Rooter]

It actully made the front page on Yahoo.

Maybe its a symbol for the way the season will end up. Sure, they made a wrong turn and got lost, but they ended up in the right place in the end.

[Old Style]

Yeah, why were they driving? And on game day on top of it. They did have an off day in there.

[salukifudd]

F'in A.

[Jehrico]

GPSs can be dangerous if you them for gospel.

I could dig up many more on engadget alone...

 

Here's my favorite quote from one of the articles...

 

In the most recent case, drivers passing through the village of Luckington have found themselves landing in the River Avon, by following a GPS-recommended route that pointed to a bridge that has been closed for a week. Despite warning signs on both sides of the road, and nothing but water straight ahead, local villagers have found themselves pulling an average of two cars a day out of the river for the past week.

 

Are we really becoming that stupid as a society?

Apparently there really are people like Michael Scott in the world.
