Len & Bob's baseball blog

I'd like to echo Len's thank yous to everyone who made this year's Bash possible. It truly was a great night and I hope our band didn't damage the hearing of anyone who was in attendance!

Now we're into the madness that is the Cubs Convention and let me tell you, it's as hot inside this hotel with baseball passion as it is cold outside here in Chicago. Meeting all these incredibly loyal fans always gets my blood pumping and I'm going to need that if I have to go outside for anything.

One thing I've noticed over the last few days here and on the caravan is how comfortable Lou Piniella is going into this year. He knows the city, the team, the ballpark - all the things he had to learn on the fly in his first year last year. I think having more things come as second nature this season will make life a lot easier on Lou and really bring out the best in his managing style.
