9/15: Ned Yost fired, Picks Wrap and MNF Preview

A semi-busy Monday....
  • Ned Yost, Milwaukee Brewers Manager, gets fired in the middle of the wild-card race...yes, they've lost 11 of 14 and just got swept by Philly...but NO one saw this move coming; I'm not totally opposed to it as I usually would be because this is the 2nd year in a row he seems to have lost this team down the stretch and ownership is apparently not gonna stand for it....Remains to be seen how it goes down....
The Picks...are....not going well? 

YTD: 5-11-1 (Yes, I pushed the Chargers when Mike Shanahan went for 2)

1 more pick for the weekend....
  • Philly +6.5....I like the Eagles tonight....and I'm not so much picking them to win the game outright as to keep it close...Donovan is a top-5 QB when healthy and combined with do-everything top-5 RB Brian Westbrook, they'll overcome the lack of WR Depth to put up at least 20 points on Dallas....and that'll be enough to cover....Also, the best trio of CBs in the league get to unleash on TO and Patrick Crayton...my advice? double TO allllll day...as whoever you man up on Patrick Crayton is simply better than he is....just a thought...
