My wife is crying upstairs. I hear cars coming to the house. Brewers beat reporter of mine, I think it’s time you told your Don what everyone seems to know:
I’m not meaning to pick on the reporter with that Godfather goof. It’s just that, in this day of rumors and tweets, it’s easy to forget that something isn’t actually official until the team announces it. Not sure if that’s meaningful, silly or quaint, but it’s true, even if we all knew Ron Roenicke got the job two days ago.
It’s official: Ron Roenicke is the next Milwaukee Brewers field manager. The Brewers made the announcement Thursday morning and planned to introduce Roenicke, 54, at a 1:30 p.m. CT press conference at Miller Park. Club officials confirmed he was the choice two days earlier, but held off the formal announcement while some final administrative steps were completed and Roenicke traveled to Milwaukee.
Roenicke got a two-year contract with a club option for 2013.

I can’t wait for the day when we hear about a hiring and, in the interim between the news breaking and it actually being made official by the team, the entire fan base moves on and has begun agitating for the “old” guy to get fired.
