Lou's crazy like a FOX

It looks like Lou Piniella won't be going totally underground for the 2006 season. Spies say Sweet Luigi will be working for Fox Sports as an analyst on one of the network's Saturday "Game of the Week" broadcast teams. Looks like Fox also might have inked Piniella at a very reasonable rate. With the fate of MLB's national TV deal still in the balance, the Foxies are not going to bust their baseball broadcast budget. Still, sources close to Piniella said he wants to maintain his visibility with the intent of a possible return to the managerial ranks in 2007. Working for Fox will give him plenty of face-time. Look for Piniella to also have a role on Fox's 2006 MLB postseason telecasts. From Bob Raissman, NY Daily News

  • Thanks very much, joseph--glad you found your way here. I agree about
    Louie--he's quite an original. I'm afraid I can't listen to Steve Phillips under any circumstances--more
    power to you if you have the stomach
    for him.
