Ned Yost really loves him some coffee

[Biestie1]

Good stuff. In all seriousness, a lot of the players drink coffee in the dugout too.

[jazzytrav]

Great stuff AT.

 

Apparently the ump in TLB's post really likes the coffee breath.

[TauPentaRei]

greenies banned from the game, right?

just guessing here, but i imagine 25 cups is an equivalent upper to a rhinocerous greenie.

[ozzybourne]

RELAX EVERYONE and turn on some jazz--he's drinking decaf!!

[Baldkin]

[JJHardy7]

Even if it's 8 cups that's a lot of coffee. I wonder how many cups he drinks during a double header?

I JUST HAD MY 600th CUP TODAY, WANT TO TASTE SOME? OR IS THE SMELL GOOD ENOUGH?

[PKBadger]

The best part of bumping umps, is Folgers in your cup.

[jordanmuehl]

This is like a priceless comedy gem. Yost has done it again, folks!

 

In all seriousness, though, should we start slipping a little alcohol into that coffee so that it begins to reverse his bonehead decision-making process? (Sorry, that was just me wishful-thinking. He probably would make even weirder decisions if intoxicated.)

I used to be a coffee addict/fiend, i'd down anywhere from 6-12 cups a day. Then i got acid reflux and coffee/reflux don't go well together in the slightest, had to stop drinking coffee or deal with the pain it brought me. That's when i found out just how addicted to coffee i was. For a few weeks after quitting coffee, i felt almost like some crackhead, i couldn't believe just how badly i wanted to have a few glasses of coffee.

 

I didn't have a single cup of coffee then for around five years, but finally decided to have one on the way to a Packer game this year. Oh my lord did that taste good.

I wonder about the dog days of summer. You're playing an afternoon game, and it's 90+ degrees. Do you reach for a nice, steaming cup of java? (Or maybe they have a Gatorade cooler filled with iced coffee?)

[DonMoney4Mgr]

Maybe this explains the constant lineup tinkering.

[Blazer25]

"Why would you write that? I don't drink 25 cups of coffee a day," Yost said. "Maybe seven or eight or 10, but not 25. And why is that anybody's business, how many cups of coffee I drink? That's the stuff that (ticks) me off."

Keep in mind that Nedly quit dipping (tobacco) about a year and change ago. My guess is that he simply replaced his nicotine addiction with caffeine.

[owbc]

Better that he's addicted Caffeine than Nicotine. I'd rather have children watching TV and seeing Ned double-fisting coffee than spitting chew everywhere.

[1992casey]

At least with coffee, we can't really tell what's in the cup. For all we know, he could be drinking rum and coke.

[jazzytrav]

Very true. I use to make it through college band rehearsals with a thermos cup full of gin & tonic.

[Roscoe Chill]

I don't care if Ned Yost drinks coffee, or how much he drinks coffee.

 

But his reaction to this unimportant blurb just reinforces my hate for Ned Yost. I can't wait until Ted Simmons takes over. Worry about what matters Ned, like your decisions in crucial situations, and who makes the starting rotation.
