lou piniella doesn't think we know, well, anything
Oh my God, Lou Piniella, do us all a favor and SHUT UP.
Q: On the other hand, it might be nice if baseball moved into the future by including more women in its ranks. Do you think a woman could be a good manager?
A: If she had a good bench coach, why not? I would think she would need a good hardened professional baseball guy that would help her with the x’s and o’s during the ballgame. Someone who knew the intricacies in and out of the game.
Q: Plenty of women already know the intricacies of the game.
A: I’m not sure of that. I think some of the sportswriter women probably think they do.
...I'll take "Endemic Cultural Misogyny" for $400, Alex.
COME ON. This is the twenty-first goddamn century, and while I realize that the world of professional sports will always lag behind in terms of gender equality, I wonder if anyone bothered to tell Lou that women, as well as men, can easily recognize that he's kinda sucked as a manager since 2002. Not to be one of those uppity bitches who, y'know, insists on leaving both the kitchen and the missionary position once in a while, but I'm pretty sure that after watching upwards of 100 baseball games a year for twenty-plus years, I might have a baaaaaby bit of a grasp on the "intricacies of the game." Seriously, dude, I have a uterus, not a form of mental retardation.
(If ever there was a time for a triumphant return-of-the-Chickball post, this was decidedly it.)
