Good Lord, Lou could not look more like a dottering old man.

 

It's like having Hubert Farnsworth manage the team. Except a lot less funny.

CUBS have double digit hits in each of their last 4 games

 

Go CUBS !!

So you're happy that Zambrano is in the bullpen, or do you not understand why the professor says "good news!"?

 

Lou's not clever enough for that. He'd just say "bad news."

Ramirez hit three balls pretty far today. none of those for hits, but it's better than he's done recently.
