Gotta love this. Not only has this been a disappointing season for the Chicago Cubs, now things are getting bizarre in the clubhouse. This piece by Chicago Tribune Cubs beat reporter is “enlightening”. I know I’ve been ready for this damn season to end for a while, and now it looks like the players and coaches are too. This latest clubhouse twilight zone is a good indication that Manager Lou Pinella has lost control of this team. Is it too late to re-group for 2010? Will Lou be back in 2010? Who will GM Jim Hendry trade in the off-season – Carlos Zambrano, Milton Bradley, Kevin Gregg?
It should be fun watching this mess unfold in the off-season. Can’t wait to hear all the gossip leaked out after all the players go back to their respective homes for the winter…

Time to say goodbye to Lou already and bring in Ryne Sandberg!! I want to see Ryno in the Cubs dugout managing. Don’t get me wrong, I like Lou, but he seems to have lost the players. Itmay have to do with the human cancer tumor known as Milton Bradley also. I think they should bring Sandberg up to act as one of the coaches until Lou leaves.
