Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
It's certainly not anything out of the ordinary for a baseball manager to get enraged. Whether it be a tough loss, an annoying question, a bad call: there's really no other job in all of sports where you see dudes flip their lid more often. (Unless you're Rasheed Wallace maybe.)So let us revel in Lou Piniella's first mini blowup, after Kerry Wood -- hi Buzz! -- let up three runs in the ninth to blow the game for the Cubbies this afternoon. First, Piniella whacked a water cooler in the dugout in said ninth inning. Then this happened in that little tiny hole-in-the-wall press room at Wrigley Field:
Welcome back, Lou. It's been too long.After Thursday's 4-3 loss to Milwaukee, Piniella plopped down in the interview room, tersely answered the first four questions he faced, and then was asked if he had thought about putting Reed Johnson in left field as a defensive replacement for Alfonso Soriano.
That did the trick.
"You damn right I thought about it. You think I'm stupid or something?"
Though the interview was done, Piniella wasn't.
As he left the room, Piniella continued muttering about the question, this time using a little stronger language.
