Ned Yost’s Last Baseball Memory…

Posted by meech.one at 3:20 pm ET 15 Comments

Jeff Suppan never claimed to be the best at hide-and-go-seek

Look what the Phillies done-did:

Yost relieved of managerial post | Brewers.com

“Relieved” sounds awfully nice when you get shit-canned tied for the Wild Card lead with a couple weeks left in the season. Third base coach Dale Sveum will take over as the interim manager.

In other words, the Brewers Wild Card hopes are kaput.

This type of move in the final push of a playoff race always sends a clear message to the rest of the team. Unfortunately that message is, “We give up.”

I feel sorry for the Brewers. They were in our way, though, and deserved to be destroyed.

“They were in our way, though”

Exactly. If Our Lord himself, Jesus Christ, was coaching the Brew Crew this weekend they woulda got swept the fuck outta town. It’s just some wrong place/wrong time shit for Ned Yost.

Are you saying that Jesus Christ can’t manage a ball club?

Jesus had a hard time keeping 12 apostles in line so, how the hell could he manage a 40 man roster.

It’s proven Jesus Christ can’t execute a proper double-switch. I think it was in The Bible.

For real though, Ned Yost should’ve been fired when he tried copying LaRussa’s bullshit “bat the pitcher eighth” routine.

To be fair, Jesus spent most of his career managing American League teams…

[And now for the real blasphemy...]

…also, when he enters the dugout, he doesn’t emerge for three days.

If anyone else feels like going straight to hell with us, feel free to join in…

Not so fast. This might not be the white flag for the Brewers. Just look what the firing of a manager did for the Mets.

The flipside of this is that the Brewers could take this as some kind of motivation, have a fire lit under their asses and rally for 10 wins in the last 2 weeks of the season.

I guess you guys are right. Every at-bat, Jesus would give the “lay down thy bunt in sacrifice” sign.

But I bet even He wants Jose Reyes drilled by a pitch.

Jesus managing < Odin managing

He’d have Thor on the bench, who I would think is comparable to Greg Dobbs as a pinch hitter.

I don’t mean to induce any chubbies, but it’s Nats 7, Mets 1 in the eighth inning.

I thought midwesterners were supposed to be reserved and thoughtful, this is one heck of a knee jerk reaction to recent events.

-Other than Sheets/Sabathia; their 3, 4 and 5 pitchers have an ERA of 4.5…do you think we’d have their record with myers, hamels and three eatons?

-their hitters are def worse than ours

-their division is statistically better

No need to crucify anyone here, 2 series agains the cubs, then reds and bucos – I wouldn’t have bagged the season.

…I wonder why I’m so happy though?

“Three Eatons” just gave me shivers down my spine and I think I threw up in my mouth a little.
