No matter what they say, I'm going to keep on beating my head against this wall until it crumbles or the idiots who keep building it shut up.

Let me make it as clear as I can.

NED YOST IS NOT THE REASON THE BREWERS AREN'T WINNING!

Everybody needs to understand that the chattering class (scruffy sports columnists, stupid talk radio hosts, semi-stupid talk radio hosts, guys who've never played a down or an inning or a quarter in their lives, people who think a $20 ticket and a seat on the couch makes them some kind of expert) has a vested interest in calling for Ned Yosts' scalp.

The way they figure it, if there isn't any controversy, nobody cares what they have to say. They may be right about that. And so, they decide to create a controversy.

One of the main idiots went on a sleep-deprivation strike until the Brewers won a game. It almost made you hope for a major league-record losing streak.

The problem, of course, is that Yost is not colorful. He is very, very businesslike. He may be stubborn. But, he's also one hell of a lot smarter about baseball than the cumulative wisdom of all the jerks that are running around calling for his scalp.

After the game Saturday, I was driving home from Madison and listened to post-game shows on WAUK, WSSP and WTMJ. They were all pretty much the same.

On one, a caller said, "God, I look at Yost in the dugout on TV and he never shows any expression. Get rid of him."

Yes. And bring in Marcel Marceau.
