Ned Yost is the platonic ideal of the baseball manager who does things just to look like he's doing something.

The guy is an idiot, makes all the wrong decisions, but won anyway.

I was thinking last night... you know... is there a chance that pitch was totally grooved and this whole fairy tale ending thing is manufactured? Yeah, there's a chance. Is it a good chance? Maybe. But I realized that I really, truly, do not care. The older I get (and I would say that I'm a Yankee fan), the less and…

Eh. Even if the game meant something and it wasn't Jeter's last home game, I'd question walking a 40-year-old singles hitter having his worst season ever, to pitch to McCann with a short porch. I don't think that move is automatic, given the players involved.

Edie frickin Brickell with the intro.

The Brewers currently rank 10th in the Major Leagues in the majors and average over 33,000/game. Not the highest numbers, but they also play in the smallest market in baseball.

So if the team in the smallest market in a sport with no salary cap tries to, but ultimately fails to overcome a deck stacked against them, you will soil your britches with delight? That'll show 'em.

Wily Peralta is at the plate not Ramirez, and it's Jean Segura not Juan.

If you want to get into specifics, Nyjer Morgan actually knocked Arizona out of the playoffs, and I think he'd be thrilled to have a major league pitcher throwing at him right now.

The written rule says something along the lines of "a player caught using a banned substance will serve a 50 game suspension" (Braun did more than 50 games). No where in the written rules does it say that opposing teams can hit him with a baseball. So, yes, they did try to do the unwritten rule here.

This story is about a baseball team applying an unwritten rule.....years late.....in a game they were winning....but lost. end of story. GET OVER IT.
