I don't doubt Lou thought that, but I don't think it was a smart move. I know they're playing terrible ball right now. But I look forward to the season to see baseball, and not some silly dog and pony show by the manager who has an ulterior motive for making the scene. Not to mention Cubs fans are pretty volatile right now, so giving them something to launch mugs onto the field over, or go running onto the field is just not smart. Even if this season is over, I'd still prefer the focus to be on baseball, for now or for next year or whatever.
