Here Comes the Nedtastic Second Half Swoon

Is Ned Yost retarded? We know Dr. Ned isn't, but his evil twin Plain Old Ned sucks. This team has looked absolutely awful since the sweep of the Cardinals and now they had a dugout blowup. Interestingly enough, it was nearly one year to the day of the Johnny "Slow Turd" Estrada and Tony Graffanino scuffle last year (August 3, 2007).

I love Ned's comment too, basically downplaying it and accusing us of being rude for wanting to know what it was about.

"It's a little bit rude when your neighbors are fighting next door to go knock on the door and ask what happened."

-Ned Yost

No Ned, I don't go over there and snoop around, I CALL THE COPS. 

Since the second half tank job is on the horizon, I'll give you a few tips on how to avoid it Ned

1. Don't play Rickie Weeks so much.  He sucks.  Seriously Ned, your leadoff hitter is batting .221 and is a human error machine.
2. Don't start Rickie Weeks ever again
3. Manage your pitching staff.  If a guy looks like he's running into trouble, do something about it.  Don't wait for them to work their way out of the jam, and give up five runs in the process.
4. Play the hot bat.  Counsell looks keyed in at the plate, keep starting him until he cools off.
5. Give Jason Kendall a freaking day off.  Seriously Ned.  Are you serioius?
6. Hold players accountable.  You clearly don't.
7. When your players get into a fight, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!  Don't just sit there and let them take control of the situation.
8. Don't use your stupid plug and play lineups.  Just because a guy is filling in for a regular, that doesn't mean you bat him in that guys slot in the order.  WHY THE F IS CRAIG COUNSELL BATTING SIXTH IN THE LINEUP WHILE DICK WEEKS CONTINUES TO LEADOFF YOU F*&KING IDIOT!
9. Manage your starters better.  I realize we intend on getting all we can out of Sabathia, but have you ever heard of resting guys for the postseason?  WHY THE F DO WE CONTINUE TO TROT HIM OUT THERE FOR COMPLETE GAMES?!?!?
10. Stop talking to us like we're idiots and you're much smarter than us.  You're clearly an idiot.  You're not a smarter baseball man than me because you played professionally.  You sucked as a backup catcher and you suck as a manager.  Bring you twin brother Dr. Ned back, you're retarded.

There Ned.  Please start doing some of these things.  

I can't even begin to express how pathetic it was that he just sat back during that fight as if nothing happened.  You wonder why guys on this team regress and continue to suck?  Ned lets them do what they want and continues to downplay any negativity on the horizon.  

Oh and for those scoring at home, Ned's career record in August is now 56-81.  Oh dear god, I'm really preparing myself for another letdown.

Is there anyway Doug can realistically not fire Ned after another Nedtarded second half means we miss the playoffs again this year?
