Lou Piniella To Retire After Season

After days of speculation, the New York Daily News is reporting that current Chicago Cubs skipper Lou Piniella will retire at the end of the season. If you have been a baseball fan for more than a couple years, you know what kind of character Piniella is. Even though he is currently ranked 14th in wins as a manager with 1,826, he might be better known for his on-field tirades that quite frankly were often hilarious. He was the king of kicking dirt and the original badass of picking up bases and throwing them after bad calls. Thank you Lou for keeping me entertained all these years, the game will not be the same without you.
