Move over 3.28 road ERA...

I really enjoyed watching this guy pitch tonight. I know he tends to fall apart after so many innings, but can someone explain to me why he wasn't starting or doing something more than he has been this season? Some lucky lady in Milwaukee is getting plowed tonight.

The week in headlines

Move over Sexy Gabe!

Braun cut in more ways than one

Three more nerve-racking games.

Also, I vote we invite Lil' Wayne to our next Packer Backer...http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3607474&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab2pos2

Packers lose game/Harris

On Sunday night the Packers lost the game

The Pack also lost Al Harris

who ran into football robot AJ Hawk and ruptured his spleen,

presumably on one of Hawk's talons

The Packers will now see if they have developed any corner backs during the Ted Thompson era

Hey Pecker-Petters, You Should Have Picked Up The Phone

Enjoy golfing in October! And for your information, every piece of shit I drop in my morning dumps are better baseball players than anyone on your roster except that shortstop you have.

Sveum Hires Old Friend "Fred Shost" As Special Assistant

Shost, pictured above, will counsel Sveum on stubbornness, lineup stability, how to abuse pitchers, Bill Hall's value, and the art of making love to Jason Kendall. When questioned about his similarity in appearance to former manager Ned "Red" Yost, Shost deflected the accusations by pointing to his thick black mustache and sporting a shit-eating grin.

Seth, I haven't forgotten about your once 3.28 Road ERA

...and I don't appreciate being called a "shithead."

Brewers at the Reds (because I haven't given up on them yet)

Local Loser Loses Job

Milwaukee (AP) – While most people wouldn’t let Brian Shouse babysit their right-handed children, former Brewers’ manager Ned Yost saw something special in his lefty specialist Sunday afternoon. Most managers, eight year old girls, and amorphous molten rocks understand that the real reason to keep a lefty specialist in your bullpen is to face left-handed former MVP’s in critical situations. However, Ned Yost approached the situation just a little differently.

“Shousey is a gamer,” Yost said. Interpreters have informed the AP that, roughly translated, this means that Yost was scared shitless of having to pitch to Howard in a tight situation and was willing to let a much more qualified right handed bat beat his side-arming lefty.

“I had confidence in Shousey that he could get the double play,” said Yost, the only one with such confidence in his pitcher. The rest of the city of Milwaukee could have written the ending to this predictable tale: Yost left ‘s House in for three consecutive right handed batters and four consecutive earned runs. Yost was issued a swift and ruthless termination only a few hours later.

Though it may not be apparent to casual viewer, Sunday was not Yost’s first time managing a baseball team. Quite the contrary, in fact. Yost led the Brewers to a .477 winning percentage over most of six seasons and became famous for similar collapses – July 2004, July 2005, June 2006, and August 2007, just to name a few. Speculators, who long ventured that Yost’s ultimate demise would come at the hands of an angry mob wielding socks filled with razor blades and rusty nails, were sorely disappointed Monday when Brewers’ General Manager Doug Melvin announced he had gone the more traditional route and simply fired the fuckin Communist.

“Ned has no idea how to manage a baseball team. And that,” said Brewers General Manager Doug Melvin. “It’s no secret, and that, that I was calling all the shots from upstairs and Yost was my little on field puppet, and that. I thought I’d be nice and give him a little responsibility by allowing him to manage the bullpen, which was clearly a colossal mistake,” Melvin continued. “And that.”

Nobody was more disappointed to learn about Yost’s termination than local cocksucker Bill Hall, who has ‘played’ third base for most of the year. Hall was a favorite of Yost’s despite his inability to hit, run the bases, or field his position. Hall could not be reached for comment as he was preparing the bear that was to be fucked by for former Brewers’ third baseman Russell Branyan. Branyan, who typically performs this task (and others like striking out, walking, and hitting bombs) himself was busy treating his muscle injury with an ointment of razor blades and rusty nails, a Branyan family cure dating back thousands of years.

Former Brewer and current third base wind turbine Dale Sveum will be acting manager during the team’s final twelve games while former Brewer and current bench coach Ted ‘Simba’ Simmons will serve as an assistant to the manager. When reached for comments about the Brewers situation, Sveum’s response was indecipherable amidst the raining boos following yet another out at home plate.

Nobody is quite sure how the Brewers’ final 12 games will wrap up, but there IS one guarantee in Brew Town: Anticipation for the 2008 Hendy awards is at an all-time high.

It is with great honor and privilege that I make this post

Welcome to the dugout, Dale Sveum.

Ned Yost shakes up lineup!

Ned "the red" Yost shook up the lineup today

and even the dimwitted umpire Mac had a hard time understanding Yost's "logic"

I don't know how moving your best hitter from 3rd to 5th improves your lineup

But apparently Yost has some illiterate plan that involves a man/the Phillies breaking into his house and raping him. Discuss

Opponents Beware

How Many Games Do I Need To Start This Year?

I've already started an absurd 128 games this year. My OPS sits at .667 and my defense has been more than a pleasant surprise. But we're facing a team, the Padres, the next 4 games who have attempted and been successful in stolen bases at an historically low rate. It is easily the team against which a defense-only catcher is least useful. Mike Rivera has been worthy of more plate appearances all season long, and the Southern League's batting champion, Angel Salome, is now with the team.

Shouldn't I maybe sit out a game or two in this series? Not to jinx anything, but shouldn't I also get some rest for the final stretch run and/or playoffs, if our team is fortunate enough to earn such an achievement?

Meiz, you want posts? You get posts.

Unoriginal, but fitting.

Seems a little redundant, eh Chad?

I heard this on Bob and Brian this morning: BCS's favorite professional wide receiver recently had his name legally changed to "Chad Javon Ocho Cinco." Roger Goodell, the strict, by the book type commissioner who seemingly punishes any expression of individuality on the field has just been beautifully one-upped by the league's finest showboat. Touche, Chad.
