According to the Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel, the Brewers have fired their manager Ned Yost.
The Brewers are 3–10 in September.
They are currently tied with the Phillies for first place in the Wild Card, though they have squandered a five-game lead.
…i am not sure i ever recall a team firing their manager, when essentially tied for a playoff spot…



They probably should have done this a long time ago.
Do you mean a long time ago as back then when they had a 5 game lead?
No like well over a year ago.
Oh ok, then yeah i agree.
Why couldnt they do this BEFORE they played philly?
NY Post headline:
Yost is Toast
WOW.
I second that! WOW! Are they taking a page out of the Miami Heat and New Jersey Devils championship season playbook?
I honestly think this doesn’t happen were it not for the Mets’ 2007 example. They’re trying to avoid a Collapse, where a manager who has completely lost the team tries to steer them through the storm.
I am sorry but a team in a pennant race should not have to play for the manager. They should be playing for themselves and their teammates to make the damn playoffs. Who cares about the manager
Just so you recall, the Brewers collapsed last year under Yost already, the size, nature and timing were just more convenient.
The timing always makes it “dramatic” in so much as news, but when you blow large leads more than once it is just a bad sign.
That they replaced him with Dale Svuem though is just comical.
Odd time to do that.
If by Odd Time you mean “Just in the nick of time” then i agree
On the Uni watch front, i vote that the old school brewers logo is cooler than any other in the league. As a met fan im jealous
Yeah, its one of my favs as well.
agreed.
woow do we know whos gonna replace him?
Willie
That was awesome.
Upon being hired, Willie reportedly reviewed the team’s roster and concluded that he “trusts his guys.”
“The champagne will be sweeter when we bring this home to da cheezheads…”
3rd base coah
Dale Sveum, if the spelling is right.
Not as bold a move as you think. If the team turns it around, you look like a genius. If they tank, well, they were already tanking! Hmm. . . sounds familiar. . . .
yea yost lost that team a long time ago..maybe they need a breath of fresh air..like a interm manager…..that sounds so familiar but i cant just put my thumb on it……………
EC-Dub! EC-Dub! EC-Dub!
WOW someone didnt take well to their collapse….and they talk about ny being impatient…
Willie to manage the Brewers. LOL. Imagine that. Knock the mets out
I’m sure he’d do it for free too…
LOL @ Willie managing at the Major League level.
ha
WOOOWWW
I am almost as surprised as when the Mets fired Willie. As for him managing the Brewers, I am all for it. Automatic playoff spot. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
Things that shock me today (includes reactions from events yesterday):
1. Zambrano threw a no-hitter
2. Ted Lilly is throwing a no-hitter right now
3. The Brewers couldn’t win a single game in Philly
4. Larry
5. Amy Nelson bitching about the Cubs and Astros in Milwaukee
6. The Nooner
7. The volcano taco from TB is as hot as my toothpaste
8. The Jets lost
9. LOL
10. Ned Yost got fired
If Lilly completes the no-hitter I will declare all jinxes dead.
and the mets brought back willie to start the season…
