After today's thrashing by the White Sox, Sweet Lou let loose the following comment.
"I'm glad it was only Spring Training," Piniella said after his first Cubs-White Sox game Sunday, in which the Sox romped, 13-2, at HoHoKam Park. "That's the only good, saving grace out of this thing. Our pitchers aren't pitching well, and our hitters aren't hitting very well. Outside of that, we're OK."
Our pitchers aren't pitching well, our hitters aren't hitting well. Outside of that we're ok. That's priceless. I have to say, I was one of the last Dusty supporters, long after other members of the DCS staff had lampooned him as a no good nice guy. I had known Dusty in San Francisco as well, so I guess I was used to him. But he sucked! Lou is definitely a breath of fresh air.
Things weren't all bad for the Cubbies, $136 Million Dollar Man Soriano did go 3-for-3 and Derrick Lee did hit a home run. Tomorrow will be important as both Prior and Woody will take the mound. Let's hope for some better play tomorrow, or our new manager will definitely let them know it.

Is this going to be a cubs only blog? where is the sox coverage?
Ditka's back! As for the sox backers, they're are several writers(kar 120c) but maybe they are hiding?
as i stated earlier, it's good that he's kicking ass, but it has to translate into victories. this looked pretty pathetic.
You Cubs fans are so pathetic. You are writing positive articles when your team loses 13-2! Isn't the manager supposed to win, not just say things to the media. This team looks worse than last year so far.
I wouldn't call us pathetic as much as I would say it was slow sports day. You can't deny the new optimism that Lou is floating around this spring training though. Much better than Ozzie latest, "I hate Brandon McCarthy" tirade. That guy's routine is becoming tired.
