Piniella takes over

So the Cubs hired "Sweet" Lou Piniella ...

Great.

Now all the people who flock to Wrigley to get drunk can get a side show with all of Piniella's antics too ...

Fine. Maybe he'll light the fire the Cubs need to start playing up to their potential ...

Like Piniella today, Dusty Baker pretty much promised a championship when he was hired four years ago. I'll believe it when I see it ...

And what's with all the sudden talk of A-Rod coming to Chicago to reacquaint with Piniella!?! I'll believe that when I see it too ... And if it does happen, I can't imagine Cubs fans being any easier on him than New Yorkers ...

I do like the sound of Jason Schmidt on the mound and Alfonso Soriano in the lineup ...

But Soriano is not a leadoff man. The Cubs have got to keep Juan Pierre -- along with Jacque Jones, Aramis Ramirez, Matt Murton, Derrek Lee and Michael Barrett ...
