But Wait, There's More Gamethread!
South Side Sox — ... Cubs: If it wasn't for Sox security, nobody would know that Milton Bradley and Lou Pinella are hotheads.

.486: Lou’s “Piece of Sh*t” Motivational Speech is FAIL, Ozzie Declares All Players “Sh*t,” Cubs Lose 6-0
Can't Stop The Bleeding — ... .  Bradley sought solace in the local Chicago media, and Paul Sulliivan was only too happy to climb up on a chair to give Milton a shoulder to cry on, here.  “If it’s a motivating tactic and he’s taking a different switch since people are saying he didn’t have fire, then I understand. I take a lot of heed in what he has to say. It matters. I take it to heart, and I’m better for it.”  Glad to hear it.  The Cubs then lost today, 6-0.  Watching Lou lose his temper brought out some sympathy from the one man in Sox Park who knows a player beat down ...

Bradley has problems, but this ain't one
Circling The Bases — The Milton Bradley-Lou Piniella brouhaha erupted and then more or less resolved itself over the weekend, with the name-calling apparently ending on Saturday and the rapprochement beginning (now they're ...

Ozzie Guillen Not Helping North-South Side Relations [Mlb]
Deadspin — ... wasn't screaming at his own players he was taking swipes at the South Siders, helpfully pointing out that attendance at U.S. Cellular Field takes a significant jump whenever the Cubbies take the bus downtown. Over 20,000 more fans showed up than when the Dodgers were visiting the previous weekend. Fortunately, the only man who can go toe-to-toe with Lou's crazy was ready with a response: ...

For the season, Bradley is hitting .242/.375/.368 with six homers and 22 RBIs, which isn't anywhere near the sort of production the Cubs were hoping for when they signed him to a three-year, $30 million deal.  While fighting injuries to his groin and calf, he's also butted heads with manager Lou Piniella (which might be why he's available to begin with), who's grown tired of his temper tantrums and moodiness.  ...

Lou Piniella says he's done after 2010
Circling The Bases — ... (Insider only, alas): Lou Piniella has told others that one way or the other, 2010 will be his last season managing. Now, keep in mind that Piniella is at the end of what has been an enormously disappointing season for the Cubs; Piniella saying he doesn't want to manage past 2010 to friends is a little like an exhausted parent saying he/she doesn't want to have any more kids after putting a rowdy toddler to bed at 9 p.m. Consider the context. Beyond the shouting match he had with Milton Bradley back in June, we haven't really seen the Lou Piniella we've come to know and love ...
