This will likely be our last post of the day, but thought this was too good not to share with all of you — a portion of Lou Piniella’s post-game presser after his Cubs choked up a 5-run lead and lost to Cincinnati 6-5.

9. You best be busting your ass out of the batter’s box, Edwin. Cincinnati Reds manager Jerry Narron benched third baseman Edwin Encarnacion for not hustling on a pop fly early in Wednesday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Our spies tell us that Encarnacion looked as if he didn’t know the ball was going to be in play and stood there. They also told us Encarnacion wasn’t very happy by his manager’s actions, sitting on the end of the bench with his hat sideways and a quizzical look on his face.
When in doubt, run Edwin. You’re not Ken Griffey, Jr. yet.
