08/22/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lou Piniella abruptly announced that Chicago's series finale versus the Braves Sunday will be his last game as Cubs manager.
Piniella had decided late last month that he would retire following the 2010 season, his fourth with the club. It's unclear exactly what prompted the advancement of his timetable for retirement, as the veteran skipper cited only family reasons.
"When I previously announced my intentions to retire at the end of the season, a primary reason for my decision was that it would allow me to spend more valuable time with my family," said Piniella. "That time has unfortunately gotten here sooner than I could have ever expected. As many know, the several weeks since that announcement was made have been very difficult on a family level, requiring two leaves of absence from the club. While I fully intended to manage this club the rest of the season, a family situation at home now requires my full attention.
"As I said last month, I couldn't be more appreciative of the Cubs organization for providing me the opportunity to be their manager. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world and I consider this the ultimate way to end my managerial career."
The team quickly moved to name Mike Quade manager for the rest of the season.
The 53-year-old Quade is in his eighth season with the Cubs and served as both third base and outfield coach prior to Sunday's announcement.
Quade spent four seasons from 2003-06 as manager of Chicago's Triple-A Iowa affiliate, guiding the club to a 289-279 mark, a pair of first-place finishes and one appearance in the Pacific Coast League Championship Series (2004).
The Cubs also announced the remainder of the coaching staff will remain intact for now, although, corresponding coaching assignments are forthcoming.
"The Chicago Cubs are honored to have had Lou Piniella as our manager for the last four years," said team chairman Tom Ricketts. "My family and I respect Lou's decision to retire from the game he loves and thank him for his years of dedicated service. He is an icon in the world of baseball and we are grateful for his time with this organization.
"Lou helped raise the bar here for this entire organization and for that we'll be forever thankful," said general manager Jim Hendry. "We understand he needs to be with his family and respect his decision to retire at this time. We salute his tremendous career and wish him and his family long-term health and happiness."

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
