Davey Lopes canned

This tiresome habit of starting the season with a manager and canning him after a dozen or two games is getting slightly annoying. I can see the situation occurring once - especially with a new manager - but the pressure is constant.

If I'm Jerry Royster, I wouldn't get too comfortable in my new office. Sports folks all over the web are claiming that local fave Paul Molitor will be Milwaukee's new manager.

Ah, but Bud's assistant said yesterday that DC will undoubtedly get the next franchise once they finish with contraction and labor negotiations. Would someone explain to me why one contracts and then expands? Doesn't it make more sense to move an existing team?

Ah, Mr. Selig, you continue to annoy me.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

The Brewers are off to a horrible start. But it's not because of Lopes.

Fact is, the Brewers don't have the talent to be competitive. A manager can win you a few extra games over the course of a season, but a manager can't work miracles if he doesn't have the players.
