This isn't a typical Douchebag of the Week. It's a career achievement award. Sitting in the Cubs dugout loaded while his team went 0-3 against shittier teams two years in a row. Managing to lose with a team that had 116 regular season wins. This fucker regularly had a minimum of three Hall of Famers on his Seattle teams and he never won shit. Hot-dogging his way out to first in the 2000 play-offs. This guy is a straight up career jerk-off. I've hated him ever since he won the Rookie of the Year that should have gone to Carlos May.

Okay, sini, check out the 1969 ROY voting and stats and tell me HOW THE FUCK PINIELLA WON THAT SHIT. It was a criminal act and someone should be in prison for it.

Still need to get around to douche bagging Ditka for losing in the Divisional round in 86 and 87 while your at it.

Hardly the same thing. There are still guys talking about that bush league play where he waltzed out to first like he was managing Little League as if it was some great thing. As if it had the slightest thing to do with one of his Hall of Famers cracking a home run a few pitches later. I'll Douchebag this motherfucker this week and every week.

Its not the brilliant move people make it out o be but he may have rattled the pitcher a bit

He's like Dusty. Going manager when he has gobs of talent

He was an asswipe as a player. He was an asswipe as a manager. He was an asswipe on ESPN. And he's an asswipe wherever he is drunkenly sitting right now.

Can you imagine LaRussa and Pinella as all star players in the same town growing up? That's a ton of ego

Just to play Devis advocate....

He DID do a good job with the Reds and he won 116 after losing Unit, Jr, and ARod in Sea

Those teams were good. Those Reds had strong pitching and a lockdown bullpen. He still had two Hall of Famers in Seattle and Garcia at his best.

I just hate the guy. He's full of shit. He was a good ballplayer, I'll give him that. The kind of guy you hate playing against.

My first post on this board was ripping him for starting Dempster before Zambrano against LA

always hated that move. Never been a demp fan for any big game ever! The guy is a fraud and while he can pile up stats against bad teams in july games, his record in big games is so bad! I am not just talking poor performances, I am talking complete breakdowns! Like 7 Walks, 5 HR kinda stuff in the first few innings!

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

And a broken down fraud and exposed liar when he quit the Cub to spend more time with family. Old fucker could not stand it that his bullshit style failed and so did he. Great nomination JORR.

I will never forget Lou Piniella's greatness in right field at Fenway Park in the playoff game to determine the 1978 American League East winner. The Bucky Dent game.

Specifically, his play in the bottom of the 9th on the Jerry Remy sinking liner, when he lost the ball in the sun but managed to block it on one hop. At the time, Rick Burleson was on 1st base, and Lou Piniella's quick thinking prevented him from advancing to 3rd base. This was significant because Burleson surely would have scored from 3rd on Jim Rice's subsequent fly out to Lou Piniella. As we all know, the washed up Carl Yastrzemski then popped out to end the game.
