The Chicago Cubs have been warned. And indirectly so have we.
Following Saturday’s 8-1 victory over Cincinnati’s Reds, Cubs baseball manager Lou Piniella admonished his club not to get “google eyed” as the team closes in on Central Division-leading Milwaukee.
Not one to take liberties with Piniella’s words, I imagine “google-eyed” is somewhere between being wide-eyed, emotionally overwhelmed and spending countless hours scouring the popular search engine for facts and information.
As I tend to believe Piniella’s point leans more to the former than the latter, my main concern is the Cubs avoid the evil eye and maintain the “Eye of the Tiger” mentality.
“We’ve got to keep grinding,” Piniella said. “We can’t get google-eyed over where we are.”
Unfortunately for us Chicago Cub fans, we’re not always sure what Lou means. With that said, I thought I’d submit for the Cubs’ digestion my recipe for Avoiding the Google Eye:
