Top 10 things a stupid manager says while getting swept by the Cubs.
Thursday, July 31. 2008
With apologies to World Wide Pants
10.) "That 0-2 pitch where he hit DeRosa, he's got to get him out in that situation,"
Mark DeRosa -- Shown here battling Adam Kennedy.
Fair enough. As long as "he" (Dave Bush), knows that here on out "he" needs to get guys out, instead of hitting them in the shoulder, and letting get on base and score all sorts of runs.
9.) "Seriously, what this is is a dress rehearsal for September,"
OK, I am glad we are being serious. Yost blathered further:
Whew -- I was under the impression that these 4 games actually meant something. My bad. I have to admit though, that this seems more like a repeat of Sept. 2007 than a dress rehearsal for Sep. 2008.
8.) "This is not a death sentence by any means,"
Right, again, games in September are worth more hit points.
7.) "He said that he thought Gagne did it on purpose,"
Here Yost is referring to that sonofabitch Jim Edmonds,
Edmonds claims that Eric Gagne was trying to hit him with a pitched baseball, after he blasted 2 HRs in Thursday's game.
Eric Gagne said:
In all fairness to Gagne, Umpire Eddings should have been more specific -- he said Gagne "couldn't go inside" -- he didn't say anything about throwing "behind" Edmonds, which probably transitions from inside to outside.
Seth McClung was reported to have looked concerned.
6.) "They have not freaked out and they've continued to come to the park every day ready to go,"
Yost clarified:
Regardless of what their contracts stipulate, we should be glad to learn that the team is making an effort to come to the park. We are going to Atlanta this weekend, I hope the Brewers show up in Atlanta. Except for Mota.... And Gagne.
As a side note, I am glad to learn what is making Nedgar so gosh darn uptight all the time, -- It's the players. Duh!
5.) "There's nothing that I can tell them to all of a sudden make them start hitting with runners in scoring position,"
Maybe Yost could tell them to quit hit & running with the pitcher at the plate?
4.) "Perspective comes into play,"
When I first read this, I thought "wow, Ned's into perspective art" like this --
but he is not. Perspective to Ned is defined as "The game we lost today, is not as meaningful as the game I hope to win later"
Tom Haudricourt with the burn:
3.) "I don't do math well,"
I managed to locate a picture of Ned's Geometry homework.
OOOOOHHHHHH.... So math actually wasn't on our side last year.... Thanks for the clarification Ned.
2.) "We faced two all-star pitchers the last two days,"
Absolutely. The Brewers got rooked here.
What sort of team stands a chance of winning when facing one:
Let alone two:
All-star pitchers in a row. The odds are astronomical that they both could be beat.
1.) "Psychological lifts evaporate about the first of August,"
I have never seen a "psychological lift" in my life, so I thought that I would paste the first image that popped up in the Google Image search. Here it is:
I am glad that Ned thinks he has a firm grasp on the science behind psychological lifts and their rate of evaporation -- Of course everyone knows that psychological lifts actually sublimate and don't evaporate.
It should be remembered, before global warming. psychological lifts would last all the way into October, but nowadays, they barely survive July. Let's go green people!
10.) "That 0-2 pitch where he hit DeRosa, he's got to get him out in that situation,"
Mark DeRosa -- Shown here battling Adam Kennedy.
Fair enough. As long as "he" (Dave Bush), knows that here on out "he" needs to get guys out, instead of hitting them in the shoulder, and letting get on base and score all sorts of runs.
9.) "Seriously, what this is is a dress rehearsal for September,"
OK, I am glad we are being serious. Yost blathered further:
"It just means our work was going to be a little bit easier or our work's going to be a little bit harder," he said. "As you can see, we didn't pass this first test real well. But that doesn't mean anything. We'll regroup and get back again in September, it'll be here again and this time it'll count."
Whew -- I was under the impression that these 4 games actually meant something. My bad. I have to admit though, that this seems more like a repeat of Sept. 2007 than a dress rehearsal for Sep. 2008.
8.) "This is not a death sentence by any means,"
“This is not a death sentence by any means,” Yost said. “If this was September, it would be different. We have plenty of time to recover from this and get back on track.”
Right, again, games in September are worth more hit points.
7.) "He said that he thought Gagne did it on purpose,"
Here Yost is referring to that sonofabitch Jim Edmonds,
Edmonds claims that Eric Gagne was trying to hit him with a pitched baseball, after he blasted 2 HRs in Thursday's game.
Eric Gagne said:
The game nearly turned ugly in the ninth when Gagne threw behind Edmonds on a 3-0 pitch and was immediately ejected by home plate umpire Doug Eddings. “The umpire told me I can’t go inside,” Gagne said.
In all fairness to Gagne, Umpire Eddings should have been more specific -- he said Gagne "couldn't go inside" -- he didn't say anything about throwing "behind" Edmonds, which probably transitions from inside to outside.
Seth McClung was reported to have looked concerned.
6.) "They have not freaked out and they've continued to come to the park every day ready to go,"
Yost clarified:
"They have not freaked out and they've continued to come to the park every day ready to go," Yost said. "When they get uptight, then I get uptight. When they're relaxed, then I'm relaxed."
Regardless of what their contracts stipulate, we should be glad to learn that the team is making an effort to come to the park. We are going to Atlanta this weekend, I hope the Brewers show up in Atlanta. Except for Mota.... And Gagne.
As a side note, I am glad to learn what is making Nedgar so gosh darn uptight all the time, -- It's the players. Duh!

but he is not. Perspective to Ned is defined as "The game we lost today, is not as meaningful as the game I hope to win later"
Tom Haudricourt with the burn:
“Perspective comes into play,” said manager Ned Yost, doing some pretty good fiddling while Rome burns around him.
3.) "I don't do math well,"
Yost sat relaxed in his dugout before Wednesday's game at Miller Park and joked about how poor he was at math. "I don't do math well," Yost said. "I got a 'D' in geometry and I went (to class) every single day."
I managed to locate a picture of Ned's Geometry homework.
OOOOOHHHHHH.... So math actually wasn't on our side last year.... Thanks for the clarification Ned.

Ned Yost is a pussy...Period.
I chose Slingblade as my moniker because he is the closest looking retard to Yost. What kind of fuckin' Manager has that twerp smerk on his face all the time??! It seems like the only thing he ever gets pissed about are questions from the press. This asshole has to go while we still have a prayer.

I would have laughed myself to tears had I not already been crying at my seething hatred of "#3"
You forgot my favorite, after the hit and run fiasco with Parra, Yostie said "I didn't want him to hit a triple".
I agree -- Great catch!
Yost was a machine these last few days, spewing out more random nonsense than he usually does. I could have done a top 20
Stupid Parra for hitting a triple!

I hav managed high school teams for 6 years. Yost is one of the most overpaid idiots wearing a uniform. In one week I could easily improve the brewers on a part time basis! I love the math diagram. Yost will lose at least 10 % of the games just by his substitution methods. TY.
FtJ... this is one for the ages. Great laughs throughout. The bit about McClung really 'got' me.
Ned Yost continues to piss me off with comments like this:
"Those aren't anger issues, those are competitive issues," Yost said. "People say, 'How can you do that?' But when I first got here, what our fans wanted was a competitive team, more than anything else. Now, when they've got guys that compete, they get upset when things like [Tuesday's incident] happen. ... I just don't want cookie-cutter players. I want guys that compete, guys that play with fire and passion."
The guy is completely out of touch with Brewer fans. No one cares that there was a fight, they just want to know why. The worst decision Doug Melvin has made is not firing him after the Red Sox series. Can't wait to see how the Brewers flame out this August. We can count on this manager to loose 3 -5 games down the stretch for us.

Ya know what would be nice? Seeing Yost actually show some expression in the dugout instead of squinting and leaning on the wall. He said he would leave starters in longer this year. So when Soup or Parra or Bush have given up 4 runs in 5innings and hav 2 on and no outs, he keeps them in. Take them out unless you want to take us out of the game.
