Big-time move admitting that the Brewers have been goofed up for a while now. Hopefully this will rattle a few cages.

Perenially looking forward to next season....

We are gluttons for punishment, aren't we? There is some solace here. Things can't get any worse.

As a Ranger fan, I wish we still had Doug Melvin as our GM. The Rangers lost me when they signed a bunch of head cases like John Rocker and Carl Everett in the off-season. Good luck, Doug.

Would it kill these people to actually hire someone to run the organization that has SOME baseball experience?? Don't get me wrong, I'll be glad to see Wendy gone.... But they haven't exactly strayed from the Selig family coat-tails very far.

[RJL]

the club, which has experienced 10 straight losing seasons, hasn't been to the baseball playoffs in 20 years, and has seen its attendance drop this year by 841,887 fans.

Selig wants to contract the Minnesota Twins because they're not competitive?

The Twins have won 2 World Series in the last 16? years and are in the playoffs this year.

Selig needs to start the process to contract his own team.

If only they hired Frank Gymbel <VBG>,....

The reality check came from Newsday, where the guy who reported on the Mrs. Quevedo v Alex Sanchez fight called this a PR move, nothing more. I'll agree on the president change to a Selig family friend, but Doug Melvin actually did something with no money (never mind that once he did have money, he frittered it away).

Now, if the owners would fire Bud we'd have some real progress.

Well, phooey, I was hoping for something a little more dramatic than this, like one of them got a sex change operation or became a Moonie.

Milwaukee Brewers Announce Major Shake-Up

Read the title and thought beer making would be on the decline. Whew!

(The Brewers are always mathematically eliminated on opening day - no?)

THe nickname for Payne around those in the know is "useless payne" He is your typical high profile token african american in milwaukee. As is so common in the african business community in Milwaukee, they beleive their net worth is proven through lengthy resumes showing numerous advisory boards and associations. When it comes down to actual work, it is passed of to someone else, as the actual grunt work doesn;t get them recognition or reason to pad the resume. Useless is just a yes man for the brewers who can now feel good they are part of "diversity" in baseball. to bad it doesn't actually acquint to an improvment.
