Sweet Lou Isn't Looking So Sweet

Is it me, or does it look like Lou Pinella is about to go on a rampage and will take out anyone in his way. Yes, we all know Lou doesn’t exactly have the best temper in the world, but man, he looks miserable while he’s managing the Tampa Bay DevilRays. And I don’t blame him. The man goes form managing a very good Red’s team in the 80’s – early 90’s, then becomes manager of the Seattle Mariners where he managed great players such as of Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson, A-Rod, Jay Buhner (how could you trade Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps?), Edgar Martinez (arguably the best Designated Hitter EVER), Joey Cora, Heathcliffe Slocumb (ummm, scratch that, I’m only listing greats.)

But anyway, you get my point. Its almost like if you were at work and had a big project to work on and management asked you to be the Project Manager but gave you a bunch of interns that would work under you. Wouldn’t that suck? I mean, yeah, if that were me I’d go out each night with my players and take the women that they don’t want for the night, but other than that, it’s not like anything is going to get accomplished and everything will fall onto your shoulders and you are the one blamed for the project not succeeding. So I don’t blame him for being miserable, unless he is getting laid a lot due to his players.
