Sweet Lou....

After seeing Cubs manager Lou Piniella's latest tirade, I have to wonder: Does he enjoy getting angry? Is he a rageaholic? Does he too have bipolar tendencies? Or is this just part of the game, like fights are a part of hockey?

That entire team needs to go to rage management and therapy.

Maybe that's why they haven't been able to win a World Series. :)

Remember that when Lou Piniella was an active player and wearing pinstripes, *his* manager was Billy Martin.

Yankees suck.

Ah yes. Billy Martin. King of the managerial tirades.

Of course I'd expect to hear that from a Red Sox fan. :)

Actually the King of the Managerial Tirades was probably Earl Weaver of the Baltimore Orioles. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Weaver :

"Weaver holds the dubious distinction of being ejected from more games than anyone in American League history."

Sometimes I think people actually get into a position that rewards the kind of behavior that the rest of us would get fired for. Coaches and team managers are included in that. They had to be aggressive players to succeed, so they continue to be aggressive in their new positions.
