Gonna miss him going Vesuvius on the field, and pitching 1st base into the outfield. Best of luck, Lou.

You know listening to these “heart warming” stories, I think it’s kind of funny how “sweet Lou” get’s tossed from games, freaks out, and acts out like an ass on the field, and it’s endearing, and people like him for it. Then on the other hand Milton Bradley, and Torre Hunter are dirt bags that ruin the game for the same type of behavior. What’s up with that?

Lou you are a Quitter! You were handed over a dozen great teams and one exactly one WS. You were an average manager at best.

All of baseball that I have known has included Lou. My first memories of baseball include Lou with the Yankees. I remember the 77 & 78 WS; cheering for him when he won with the Reds; managed the M’s; took on the duties in Tampa. I thought he was the one to bring an end to Chicago’s curse. I will miss his passion for the game – bseball as I know it always included Lou. As a life-long Yankees fan, Lou always has a special place in my heart. I wish him the best, and only hope that baseball will mean the same to me after Lou as it did with Lou.
God Bless.

Best wishes to Lou and his family. As a Seattle baseball fan, he gave us the best years of the Mariners franchise, and the impact and legacy he left in this corner of the country won’t be forgotten. Godspeed.

I wish Lou the best with his family. As far as managing the Cubs, I wish he would’ve left sooner.

I forget the name but one of the cubs management was talking to the braves announcers when aramis ramirez homered. He said they had been asking lou to stand down for about six weeks now. Since the first time his mother had gotten sick. Lou was commited to his job though and stayed as long as he could. Good luck Lou, as with all the best you were one of a kind. I will pray for your mother, god bless sir.

Sucks for Lou. His season began losing 16-5 to the Braves with Jason Heyward hitting a HR and knocking in 4. And it ends losing 16-5 to the Braves with Jason Heyward hitting 2 HRs and knocking in 4.

Hopefully everything with his mother goes well and he can enjoy his retirement.

Best wishes to Lou and his mother. His place in baseball history is secure, and he makes one last move that is hard to disagree with.
