Cubs' Piniella enjoying a Twitter-free existence

MESA, Ariz. -- Lou Piniella wasn't following the latest Ozzie Guillen controversy concerning the White Sox manager's decision to join Twitter to communicate with his fans.

"What is Twitter?" Piniella said Wednesday.

Informed that it was a social media outlet that gives users an opportunity to convey their thoughts in a sentence or two, the Cubs manager said: "Really? Ozzie, he needs more space than that."

Piniella said he would not consider joining Twitter.

"First of all, I don't know how to Twitter," he said. "And second of all, I'm not going to learn how to Twitter."

Piniella does have a Facebook page with over 4,900 friends, though he doesn't seem to know much about it.

"Look, I've heard of Facebook," he said. "Actually, it's on my phone."

Piniella conceded he used Facebook recently.

"But I'm really not a Facebook or Twitter guy," he said. "I'm a prime-rib-and-baked-potato guy. I hate to say that, but it's true."

Loo is also enjoying a Cubs playoff win-free existence and a clue-free existence (see: batting soriano leadoff for 3 years).

Lou, please don't tweet. You are as boring as a nun wearing a bikini.

First off, who the fuck is "HENRY"?

and

Mr.Creepy Cubs obsessed tard, what you've just posted is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.


Let me guess...Chicago public schools?

I agree Mike. The only reason Ozzy would have a twitter page is so that he has one more outlet to talk trash. Lou is above that. If you have noticed he never gives in to Ozzy's crap. Lou's got some class. Ozzy has none. period.

That's because Lou isn't an attention-craving jag.
