A Picture is Worth 1000 Words

In light of the recent dismissal of Brewers manager Ned Yost, I have compiled some photographs to illustrate how the season has unfolded. Sit back and enjoy what I call "Progression of the Inevitable"

Spring Training started out all smiles for Milwaukee.

The players were happy and optimistic at the year ahead; much like the original CC here.

Sure the season started out slower then they would have liked but things took off in the month of May.



Oh, but things started to go wrong.

With poor player performances ensuing and a manager sticking with his guys, the call for Yost to be toast started.


Oh but a sweet August was upon us! The Brewers had one of the best records in the National League for the month!

But the wicked winds of September started to blow. And so did the Brewers. To fans the lyrics of a Green Day song were on the mind. "Wake me up when September ends." Oh how Ned Yost must have felt the same.

Finally after watching their playoff hopes die a painful death in Philadelphia, the powers that be decided to pull the plug on Yost. (Yes I know it's a repeat picture!)




And so with 12, almost 11, games left of the season and the Brewers are in a perilous position. At times they danced upon the throne of the central, then the wild card. Now they are tripping all over themselves as another season blows up in the final stretch.


...alright that was a little lame.
