The struggling Chicago Cubs, who continue to be one of the greatest money losing overlays on the board with the baseball probabilities, will probably have different MLB baseball betting dynamics soon.



Baseball wagering supporters have learned that Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella will probably retire at the end of the season, which may change their approach with the baseball probabilities in sports games bets.

Just 2 years ago the Chicago Cubs were the overpowering favorite to make the World Series and the toast of the town as the leading team in the NL. But Chicago fell short in their playoff series versus the dodgers and concluded out of the money in the wild card round in an epic upset that strengthened their reputation as losers.

Piniella and the Cubs never recuperated and slumped badly a year ago with the hangover carrying on in the 2010 season.

Chicago had a track record of 43-52 at the time of the statement and was 10 competitions behind the first place St Louis Cardinals in the NL Central division.

The Chicago Cubs rated 23rd in run production and 16th for staff earned run average, so they were struggling in all aspects of the game.

“I said when I came here, one of my first statements, I wasn’t going to be a lifer,” said Piniella. “I did say that. I also said this was going to be my last job. I wouldn’t manage anywhere else. And I’m holding true to those.” At 66 years old, Piniella has been in the league for nearly 50 years. Being the 1969 American league rookie of the year with the Kansas City Royals kicked off his major league career.

While Piniella does not want to be called a lifer, Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry disagrees.

“He’s a lifer,” said Hendry. “He’s been in the game all his life. I’m sure he’ll want to be back in some capacity.” Piniella said he would consider a consulting job. But his days of the daily MLB wagering grind that comes with being a bench manager might be over.

“I enjoy this game, I really do,” said Sweet Lou. “So that would be a good way to stay involved, but not in an everyday basis.” The Cubs chose Piniella as a big name power manager to help them end their 100 year World Series drought. Although they made the playoffs in Piniella’s first 2 seasons on the job they have also caused significant baseball betting frustration as a team that has failed to live up to its potential and with increasingly slack play.
