Sweet Lou Gets Swept


Didn't the Chicago Cubs just beat some South-Side ass like a week ago?

Revenge is sweet, as they say. But not as sweet as Lou Piniella, who was tossed from Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox. Surprisingly, this marks Lou's first ejection of the season, usually hell bent on arguing balls, strikes and appeal calls at least a few times by now. Though, he's no Bobby Cox.

Carlos Quentin (whose nicknames of CQ and Little Conseco totally suck... we're working on new ones) is an homer-hitting machine of awesomeness lately. The guy pretty much can't be stopped, nailing his 18th longball of the season for the *game-winner Saturday night and his 19th to lead off the fourth inning Sunday.

The all-time series between these two rivals is now more heated than ever, knotted up at 33-33. Also, there were some pretty sweet brawls in the stands between Chicagoans... as if they don't honk at each other enough on the street. For the love of spilled beers, just hold out until the end of the video.

Note to self: do not bring Sooze to New York City. Chicago terrified her. THE HONKING! WHY IS EVERYONE SO PISSED OFF?!

OMG. First of all, yes the traffic was horrible. Especially that one cabbie that almost killed me (literally) and that one time I almost got my skirt creased crossing the street. And that other time I missed my train (which proved to be amazing) All in all though, Chicago was one of the best vacations I've ever had in my life. Even though the Twins got totally railed the entire time I was there.

Minor correction: Though CQ's homer on Saturday proved to be the game-winner, it wasn't a walk-off. It came in the 8th.

Also, you forgot to mention how much the Cubs and Twins suck.

OH MY GOD. You are right. I hate when you're right. But last time you said something you were wrong: blah blah the Cubs and Twins suck.

(go twins.. and for the next three days, go tribe.)

Yes, and there was that other taxi cab confessional.

And I'm going to call Carlos Quentin The Hot Tomale. He deserves a better nickname than simply 2 initials and/or the comparison to a total douche.

Ooooooooh The Hot Tomale. I like... except I hate him.

When was the last time Lou looked happy?

Good old shirt-over-the-head move. Classic.

Those are the White Sox fans I remember back from the days of old Comiskey Park. 40,000 drunks can't be wrong.

Carlos Quentin is now the new Vinny Castilla. Let the hating begin.
