Baseball Gambling – Sweet Lou to Bid Cubs Adieu
The struggling Cubs, who continue to be 1 of the greatest money losing overlays on the board with the baseball odds, are likely to have different MLB baseball betting dynamics soon. 
Baseball wagering fanatics have discovered that Cubs manager Lou Piniella will retire at the conclusion of the year, which may modify their approach with the baseball odds in sports games bets.
Just two years ago the Cubs were the toast of the town as the leading squad in the NL and the overwhelming favorite to make the World Series. But the team fell short in their playoff series vs the dodgers and ended out of the money in the wild card round in an epic upset that strengthened their reputation as losers.
Piniella and the Cubs never recuperated and declined badly last year with the hangover continuing in the 2010 season.
Chicago had a history of 43-52 at the time of the statement and was 10 competitions behind the 1st place St Louis Cardinals in the NL Central division.
The Cubs rated 23rd in run production and 16th for staff earned run average, so they were struggling in all aspects of the match.
“I said when I came here, one of my first statements, I wasn’t going to be a lifer,” explained Piniella. “I did say that. I also said this was going to be my last job. I wouldn’t manage anywhere else. And I’m holding true to those.” Piniella is 66 years of age and has been in the league for nearly 50 years. He began his major league career as the 1969 AL rookie of the year with the Kansas City Royals.
While Piniella does not want to be called a lifer, Cubs general manager Jim Hendry disagrees.
“He’s a lifer,” explained Hendry. “He’s been in the game all his life. I’m sure he’ll want to be back in some capacity.” Piniella said he would think about a consulting job. But his days as a bench manager and the daily MLB betting grind that comes with it might be over.
“I enjoy this game, I really do,” explained Sweet Lou. “So that would be a good way to stay involved, but not in an everyday basis.” Piniella was opted for by the Cubs as a huge name power manager to assist them end their 100 year World Series dry spell. Though they made the playoffs in Piniella’s 1st two seasons on the job they’ve also caused considerable baseball wagering frustration as a squad that has failed to live up to its potential and with increasingly slack play.
