Ozzie Guillen gets a bad rap with the
Chicago and national media, but the fact is, he
knows more about baseball than Jay Mariotti or Bud Selig. You may not agree with me, but keep in mind that the best managers in the game all act the same way - Guillen, Pinella, Sciosia, Leyland, LaRussa. It's no coincidence. Managers are much more important than the media would have you believe.
It’s all good times and wedding cake when
you replace a manager with a losing record. Let’s
see Manuel in New York in late-August and September before he’s anointed as the best skipper in the NL.

were set to join their new teammates today, and
for Gaudin, who will work out of the bullpen, it will be a reunion with manager Lou Piniella.
Newest Cubs pitchers Rich Harden and Chad Gaudin
joined their new teammates Thursday and for Gaudin, who
will be in the bullpen, it was a reunion with manager Lou Piniella.
"He wanted to go out and finish it,
but it's only his second time out being off
the DL and we were on a game plan of 100 to 105 pitches," manager Lou Piniella said.
Congrats to Dempster, KWood, Soto, Lou, Fukudome, Aram,
and Soriano !!!
SAN FRANCISCO -- A few days ago, Lou
Piniella said he wasn't worried about setup man Carlos
Marmol's struggles. But Marmol's deepening slump has the Cubs' manager changing his tone and making some bullpen changes.

While Cubs manager Lou Piniella isn't as fiery

Didn't the Chicago Cubs just beat some South-Side
ass like a week ago?
The only fortunate member of the Cubs yesterday
was Lou Pinella, who was thrown out of the
game before he even had a change to watch his team gets swept by hometown rivals, the White Sox.
If you haven't caught this gem yet, give
it a watch. They've been playing these commercials for
the past couple weeks during the Cubs/Sox games. This is probably one of the most simultaneously funny yet terrifying things I have ever seen. It's ...

Kosuke Fukudome finally played a game at U.S.
Cellular Field on Friday. Judging by some of the
monstrous swings he took, it was a big day for him. Cubs manager Lou Piniella talked about Fukudome's balance and "textbook" swing the first time he saw him take batting practice in Mesa. But against Jose Contreras and relievers Boone Logan and Nick Masset, Fukudome took some hacks that were vicious.

The White Sox sure make a lot of
noise, but are they actually any good? It's hard
to imagine anyone topping the circus that has been the New York Mets in recent weeks, but Ozzie Guillen and the Chicago White Sox are sure trying. Guillen, who has yet to meet a bleep he didn't like, has managed to keep his team in the spotlight throughout the first half of the season with his ...
