I didn't even know he had that option. Good.

[Outshined_One]

I can dig it. Lou's made his share of dumb moves, but he's much better than a number of other options out there.

He's been my favorite manager we've had for quite some time.

[SouthSideRyan]

He's the best manager of my lifetime, and nobody else is particularly close. The only guy who's close for the expansion era would be Durocher, and I'm pretty sure Lou blows him out of the water for not being such an ass.

What about Jim Marshall?

[Wheelimus]

Every year Uncle Lou is the skipper is another year Dusty Baker cannot somehow become our manager again. I approve.

[Clem Fandango]

Lou rocks. I wanted him to stay Cubs manager longer than his 3-year contract after his first year, this makes me happy

Agreed 100%.

 

Lou has his flaws, but he's like Einstein compared to Dusty's Villiage Idiot.

FIRE HIM!!!

As much as Lou makes me mad sometimes, he's really as good of a manager as there is in the game today.

I just can't see a Lou managed club going below .500. I can't see a Lou club not being in the pennant race.

 

His tenure with the Rays didn't happen. . . nope.
