But he couldn't get the final out! I would rather have brought in someone out of the bullpen, if for no other reason than the chance that he would get a strikeout. Whether it was Cordero's fault or not is irrelevant, what we really needed was an out.

Yet the fact remains that Cordero gave up FOUR RUNS! You can't allow your closer to give up four runs without taking him out of the game! I don't care who you replace him with, even I could pitch that well!

Yost needs to learn to do more than sit on the bench and watch his team lose (aside from his occasional meaningless fight with the umps). He is the manager, for pete's sake! When your closer is pitching this poorly he needs to be taken out! It's like Yost is completely unaware of what is happening on the field! But you can't place all of the blame on Ned; part of the blame also belongs to Doug Melvin, and Mark Attanasio for not firing such a completely inept manager. If the Brewers don't have a new manager by Monday I will seriously consider becoming a Cubs fan (well, almost).
