That’s right, Ned, don’t get involved

You know, I’m not going to guess whether Monday’s shoving match between vegetarian Prince Fielder and trounced lefty Manny Parra will spark the Milwaukee Brewers. Catching the ball with regularity and throwing to the correct base would probably do more to help the cause, but who am I to argue.

But I got incensed over Manager Ned Yost’s comments afterward. Granted, he’s not going to spill the Brewers’ dirty laundry, even though the basket spilled out in front of those annoying cameras. But here’s his quote, faithfully recorded by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

“It’s a little bit rude when your neighbors are fighting next door for you to go knock on the door and ask what happened. We handle it ourselves. It’s between us and it’s nobody’s business. But it wasn’t that big a deal.”

Great analogy, Ned! Don’t be rude if a husband is beating his wife to death next door! Wouldn’t want to offend Miss Manners!

Turn up your stereo so you don’t have to get involved.
