An excuse I have never heard before

Now "Coach" Yost has sunk to new lows to make excuses for the fact that he has no idea on how to manage a team. After last night's loss (specifically having Gross steal 3rd base with Fielder coming to bat) Yost is blaming a mosquito. Come on, this is sad even for Yost. Why is the "steal third" signal a scratch on the neck?

Did the mosquito tell him to keep Bush in after giving up 6 in the 1st inning? Did the mosquito tell him to not bring up Gwynn? But in Ray King? Trade for Linebrink and King? Sign Counsell and Grafinno but not Cirillo? Put Aquino in with bases loaded on his first night on the team? Allow Turnblow to walk the bases loaded?

I dare Yost to come out after a game and say "My bad. I really did a poor job managing out there today." Then I might actually believe him. The beautiful thing is that if Chorizo was coaching the team, this would not have happened. Chorizo's don't get mosquito bites.

Completely agree. Yost is grasping at straws at this point. This phantom mosquito is akin to the leprechaun in that one Simpsons episode that keeps telling Ralph to burn things. "Top-o-the-mornin & congratulations to ya Neddie you've ruined the team. Now burn down Miller Park." Viva Chorizo.

I wish I could get someone to steal me shit for scratching my balls.
