Last Year for Lou

Lou Piniella has been in the majors for around 40 years with just over half of that being a manager of one team or another. That career, however, will come to an end. Lou has announced that this will be his last season as he will retire at the end of year. Lou has over 1800 wins and 1 World Series Title (1990 with the Reds) as a Manager. Lou will be remembered for his yelling matches with the umps and his fiery personality. It is regrettable that he didn't get more Titles over his Managerial career, especially when he was with the Cubs. Of course, Lou will join Bobby Cox on the retirement bandwagon this year leaving two managerial vacancies. If you're a manager looking for a new scene, would you pick the Cubs or the Braves? I'm looking at you, Joe Torre.

P.S. Then again, Joe is getting old and might just call it quits after finishing his last contract year with the Dodgers. It could be the Three Retirees.
