Goodbye Sweet Lou! - Blu-ray Forum

For those who do not know Lou retired after todays game. He was going to manage the Cubs through the end of the season. But his 90 year old mother is having health problems and he decided to quit early.

As a lover of the game of baseball I will miss Lou Piniella tremendously.

He was was a tough,fiery,intense,old school competitor, one of the last of a dying breed.

The game will not be the same without him.

Dude, I thought you were talking about me. That used to be my nickname growing up. But mine was based on "Sweet" Lou Dunbar of Harlem Globetrotters fame.

I thought you were writing about the death of former Tiger "Sweet" Lou Whitaker.

Sorry. Perhaps I should edit the title.

I will miss his crazy rants after losses. I remember Tampa hiring him when they still had a bad roster, like he was going to magically turn a club with 60 or 70 wins into a playoff team.

I thought this was going to be a thread laughing at Roberto Lou`Loungo. Nonetheless I`m really dissapointed to see Lou leave baseball. I hope he decides to come back one day. Baseball will never be the same without his freak outs.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of that after the season gets underway.

Lou Piniella, Bobby Cox and (probably) Joe Torre all retiring in the same season. I'm going to miss these guys, especially Bobby.
