Despite the massive BP oil spill that’s terrorizing our nation’s gulf coast and killing off all of our nation’s pretty little birds and fishies, Cubs manager Lou Piniella has no plans of canceling his attempts at mining our nation’s freshly barren sea. My advice? Bring a huge net.

Piniella, and his coaches and the training staff have a fishing excursion planned for Thursday’s day off-day in Houston. “We’re going out on the Gulf of Mexico, about 30, 40 miles,” Piniella said. –Chicago Tribune

Many of our nation’s smartest masterminds have attempted to figure out a solution for the deadly leak, including director James Cameron, which really doesn’t make sense to me. Just because he directed a movie about a big sinking boat that killed thousands of people doesn’t automatically make him an expert on disasters. Now if he were the captain of the Titanic? Well that’s a different story.

Anyway, Piniella has one of the best tempers in modern history. All else has failed, why not let him try and yell the leak into submission? Seems to be better than BP’s plan.
