If You Wanna Crown ‘Em…

Then crown their ass. I’m not ready yet. Nope, not yet. There were a lot of people who were steadfast in putting this team into the playoffs after the acquisition of C.C. Sabathia. Not yet. The Milwaukee Brewers are up to it again, choking away the fantastic season they’d put together up until this point with mind-numbing mistakes and immaturity. It was capped off with last night’s hilarious playground-esque shoving match between Prince Fielder and Manny Parra. It’s unclear whether or not Parra told Prince to talk to the hand, but whatever was said was taken to heart by the big boy. Prince blasted Parra twice into the dugout bench while Parra curled up and winced like a kid not ready to surrender his lunch money. After the game and the defeat, the Brewers seventh in ten games, Ned Yost parted the waters of immaturity with a quote that even made the Grinch laugh.
“”For eight months a year, we’re a family, and at times things happen. Tempers flare up. But it’s within the family and it’s a little bit rude when your neighbors are fighting next door, for you to go over and ask what happened. That’s kind of the case here. It’s nobody’s business what happened.”
It’s rude Ned? It’s rude for us to ask what happened? Like nobody in the world saw it a million times on Sportscenter? What’s rude is you dodging the subject like you dodged victories when the Cubs came to town last week. What’s rude is you failing to address a problem that has arisen two straight years now, last year involving you and Johnny Estrada.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; this Brewers team has all the talent in the world but they haven’t earned a damn thing. All they’ve proven to the baseball world in the last two seasons is that they can play lights out for the first few months of the season and suddenly disappear when it starts to matter. Lets face it, this team caves like the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl. Until they figure it out and start looking at themselves in the mirror, this division is the Cubs to win. Frankly, I don’t see that changing.
