This win is so awesome I'm declaring tomorrow my official "Ned Yost Amnesty Day". I will not question, discuss or speak ill of Ned tomorrow.

 

I will even change my signature for the day.

 

If they win tomorrow I might extend it to Amnesty Week.

 

 

Awesome team win by the Brewers.

47 pages? Are you kidding me? Great job bf.net nation.

 

Wow, I am proud of these guys tonight. Chipping away at a 4 run lead to win at Wrigley. Beautiful.

 

I've gotta give my props to Ned Yost today. He had some tough decisions to make, but I was especially impressed by his handling of the pitchers. IMO you don't see enough visits to the mound by the manager. If a guy isn't focused or not following the gameplan, the manager should get out there and set the guy straight, and that's what Ned did...Twice. In the first to Vargas, and later to Villaneuva. After each visit, the difference was incredible.

 

Call me crazy, I don't know what it is so far, but Ned has a fire in his eyes that I am really liking right now.

I think Ned needs to go out the mound more when a pitcher isn't getting it done. Maddux is more the good cop Yost bad cop. Ueck was explaining that when Yost went early in the game to talk to Vargas. Seems to work.

Weather might not be super horrible. Current forecast for tommorow night.

 

A few showers in the evening becoming steady overnight. Low 48F. Winds NE at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 80%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch.

 

 

If Soup and get into end of season form, he should be able to eat up some inning.

I've got to catch the final bus here in about 10 minutes. If that game would still be going on, I'd sleep in the library. Sorry if I'm overposting, but I'm so psyched over this win. Prince and Carlos. Right this moment they're my favorite people in the world.

Great game- total heartbreaker for the Cubbies. :)

 

Did anybody notice that the Brewers were allowed three mound visits to Villanueva without being forced to pull him? I counted the visit by Yost in the 8th, Maddux in the 9th, and Maddux again in the 11th. Am I wrong, or did the Brewers just get the benefit of Pinella not knowing the rules, and the umpire getting caught up in the tense nature of the game and not forcing the issue?

Jenks with the number 1 web gem... AND Villy with a "that's nasty" where he had Alfonso jumping out of the way on a called strike. What a night!
