MLB baseball betting dynamics will likely change for the struggling Cubs, who continue to be one of the greatest money losing overlays on the board with the baseball probabilities.



Baseball wagering devotees have learned that Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella will retire at the conclusion of the year, which might change their approach with the baseball probabilities in sports games bets.

Only two years ago the Chicago Cubs were the overwhelming fave to make the World Series and the toast of the town as the leading team in the National League. But the team fell short in their playoff series vs the dodgers and ended out of the money in the wild card round in an epic upset that strengthened their status as losers.

They slumped badly a year ago with the hangover continuing in the 2010 season. Piniella and the Chicago Cubs never recuperated.

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

The Chicago Cubs ranked 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.” Piniella is 66 years old and has been in the game for almost 50 years. Being the 1969 AL rookie of the year with the Kansas City Royals started off his major league career.

While Piniella doesn’t 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 mentioned a consulting job would be a possibility. But his days as a bench manager and the daily MLB betting grind that comes with it 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 hired Piniella as a huge name power manager to help them end their 100 year World Series dry spell. Though they made the playoffs in Piniella’s first two seasons on the job they’ve also caused significant baseball gambling frustration as a team that has failed to live up to its potential and with increasingly careless play.
