Fire Ken Macha while the Brewers Still Have a Chance at Doing Anything this Year

A year and a half ago, the Brewers were in the playoffs. 13 days before the final game, Ned Yost was fired and Dale Sveam got the Brewers to the playoffs in 13 games of awesome that really got started by a walkoff win vs the lovable losers. They made the playoffs, but lost to the Phills (meanwhile, the Cubs sat at home watching the Bears lose and said "I'm just like my parents!") . The Brewers felt they needed a new manager even though Sveam did great. So they hired a man named Ken Macha. He was on the A's (look how they turned out), and he came to Milwaukee and everyone was excited. The Brewers were OK last year. This year they have a great team, and they are 16-26. They got swept by many teams, lost 9 straight and somehow still have Doug Davis in the Rotation. Jeff Suppan in coming in with slim leads, Trevor Hoffman is throwing his 75 mph fastball (batters are clobbering it), Alcides Escobar has only attempted stealing twice, Jody Geurut is starting instead of Joe Inglett, and the fielders don't even know what a glove is. When is team is playing bad, it is usually the players. But when a team is playing like the 2006 Cubbies, the management can be blamed. Ken Macha is a horrible manager. Actually, the worst I've ever seen. Worse than my little league coach in 3rd grade. Really, he's terrible. So spread the word that he needs to be fired, hopefully he will be. For laughs, watch the Cubs make 2 errors on 1 play online. CCB (classic cubs baseball).

Baseball Bi-Weekly, and Spill baby Spill



Baseball
The Cubs are seriously sucking this year. I mean, really. They look terrible. And Lou Pinella really needs to learn how to play baseball again. Who sends an (overrated and over-competitive) ace pitcher to the set-up roll? I was listening to the Cubs - Pirates game yesterday (they lost by 10) and the Cubs announcer (AKA sleeping pill) swore, said he was sorry, and then started weeping when the cubs gave up a 3 RBI double! But I'll stop ripping on the Cubs, the swept the best team. But if I was the manager of the Brewers, things would be different. Carlos Villinauava would be in the rotation for Davis, and every time Escobar, Weeks, Gomez, Hart, and sometimes Braun made it on, they will steal. Escobar, one of the fastest players, has only attempted to steal once. The Brewers would be World Series contenders if they stole more. BTW, the White Sox will heat up. I know it. And now my favorite Ozzy Guillen Quote, "**** the Cubs." There's this awesome website with cubs jokes, it rules.
Spill Baby Spill
If you weren't convinced at how horrible offshore drilling is, the spill had to convince you. Offshore drilling, or "surrendering to global warming", has not only devastated the Environment, but it has currently the potential to ruin the gulf of Mexico. This is terrible, it has not been solved, and many, many politicians still support global warming (oh, I'm sorry, I meant offshore drilling, but what's the difference?). Anyways, the next politician to chant Drill baby Drill better go home to see people dying of diseases, people gasping for air, millions of extinct species, dirty air, and increased terrorism.
Oh, and one more thing for this post. I am highly opposed to this new immigration law in AZ. It is racist, and Arizona needs a better solution.
