Goodbye, Lou Pinella

A week ago, I heard rumors that Cubs manager Lou Pinella was retiring.  I hadn't heard anything like that before, so I didn't think much of it, but yesterday came the news that Pinella was retiring after the Cubs’ game against the Atlanta Braves.

Al Yellon at Bleed Cubbie Blue has the story on the retirement, as well as background information on Pinella's career as a player and manager, and possible names of who might replace him starting next season.

I hope his mother will recover from her health problems, and I would like to thank Lou Pinella for leading the Cubs to back-to-back division titles; it's a shame a World Series victory couldn't be achieved during his tenure.  All the best to you, Mr. Pinella.

And as for the Cubs, we fans are still behind you no matter what.  Go Cubs Go!
