That About Sums It Up.

Lou Pinella on what happened to the Cubs in the postseason:

''The first game we didn't pitch well. The second game, we didn't defense well. The third game, we didn't hit.'

Ok then.

So let me get this straight. If the Cubs would have just hit, pitched and "defensed" better, we would have won? Thanks for the tip, Lou. Now I know why the Cubs locked you up with an extension...your keen eye for the game's little nuances.

I kid. I kid.

Enjoy the offseason. Oh, and do me a favor, will ya? At the next "organizational meeting," when Big Jimmy H. mentions the name Raul Ibanez, kick him in the junk as hard as you can.

Thanks, Lou.

Go Rays.
