Damn. Right in the middle of a playoff race too. He must've really sucked.

Crazy.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

None too soon for the Brewers.  From what I've seen he's a fucking moron.

Christ, twice in a few days.

Yes, you're right, Yost is an absolute tool.

That said, I'm sad to see him go.  Short of the Brewers appointing Dakota Fanning interim manager I don't see how they could do much worse.

But like I told OMR earlier, they had to do it.  The Brewers have mortgaged the future to make a run this year.  They traded their #1 prospect, Matt Laporta for CC and they lose him, Sheets, and Fielder next year.  And a team like Milwaukee can't replace that kind of production.

They're gonna have to scrap it out with the Phils for the Wild Card and Yost was not going to get them there.

I knew for final he was a stupid dickfor when he let Fielder get away with slapping the pitcher.  I don't remember the pitcher's name but it doesn't matter.  I would have suspended Fielder for a week.  Fat 1st basemen aren't all that hard to find.

I figure the Yanks can get CC, Sheets and Tex for much less than is coming off their roster next year.  I still say they should have signed Beltran.

They going to keep Abreu too? The Yankees have an ungodly amount of funding.

Brewers should have gotten rid of him after last season as punishment for choking out of playoff contention. Now it looks as if its gonna happen again.

Maybe not everybody wants to play for the Yankees and their nut ball owner :shrug:

Not that I do not like Sheets, but anything that gets me closer to first place in our fantasy league is ok with me, no matter how slim the chances are that I will win. Hey btw, can I have the 1st place price if you don't want it? You don't, right?

I can't believe the Yankees want to sign him.

What the fuck are they thinking.

I guess they're eager to pick up another Carl Pavano.

The Yankees are gonna suck for a while. Mark my words. They may be able to buy the playoffs, but then again maybe not with the Sox and Rays out there.

You have zero shot, as you know, at winning but you have done an astonishing job of blowing away all others.  You got very lucky that no one has gotten injured since you torched all of your moves over a month ago.  Sheets?  At this point it doesn't matter, I only have x amount of innings left anyway.  I'm going to drop Francisco Rodriguez and Salomon Torres soon.  I can't lose saves no matter what.  And you can't pick them up:bluemoon:.

Yeah, you can have the pitpoodles hat.:cool:  You can have whatever it is.  I don't have anymore shelf space.

Ahh, it feels good. Late September, the Cubs sealing up the division and the Yankees fans talking about next year.

I think I'll just sit here and savor it. :cool:
