In baseball, it's never too difficult to figure out when the manager is going to get fired. Sometimes you can feel it coming in very much the same way in which you sense a really bad rainstorm. Dark clouds usually follow around torrential rain and doomed managers.
As a result, no one really wants to hang around when they know a storm is coming. Instead, folks move somewhere indoors where it's safe and hope the cable doesn't get knocked out.
Anyone who saw the Milwaukee Brewers up close this weekend couldn't ignore the signs that a storm was brewing. Nursing a four-game lead of the Phillies in the wild-card race when the weekend started, the Brewers slinked out of town with their tails between their legs after first-place had disappeared into thin air.
