Tampa Bay - Lou Piniella got his final splinter sitting on the manager's bench in 2010, and now his doctor has decided it would be best if he manages from a comfy couch. Piniella was seen shopping for a lazy-boy at a Tampa Macy's yesterday.
A spokesman for Macy's gave the following statement: "We are privledged to have a man of Mr. Piniella's stature shopping at our fine establishment. We have been able to provide Mr. Piniella with a wide variety of options and we believe we found some furniture that would best suit his needs."
Chicago management declined to comment on the true reasons for Piniella's retirement, but a inside souce, who spoke on the condition of anonimity, said Piniella was sent to the emergency room three separate times during the season for splinter related injuries.
Now back home in Tampa, Piniella will be able to watch games from his living room, and protect his backside properly. As the newest consultant of the Giants, Piniella plans on purchasing the MLB package Extra Innings on DirecTV so he can watch more Giants games and do a better job consulting from his suade covered work station.

| Was it the call or his rump that got Lou so angry? |
