The Milwaukee Brewers made a move today that leaves me scratching my head with wonder. There is only 12 games left in the season yet Brewers brass decided to fire manager Ned Yost today. I completely understand the Brewers have lost 7 of their last 8 games and I get Milwaukee tanked at the end of last year, but does it make sense to pull the plug this late in the season? Milwaukee hasn’t made the playoffs since 1982 so that has to be one of the major factors in the decision process to let Yost go and promote third base coach Dale Sveum to acting manager. The Brewers are tied with the Phillies in the Wild Card standings so we will know in two weeks if this was the right decision.

Check out the vidoe clip below of Brewer’s teammates inappropriately celebrating the announcement of Corey Hart winning the public vote for the final National League All-Star spot. Is that really necessary with his cute little daughter in his lap?

The Milwaukee Brewers are first place in the National Central Division. They have won 7 out of their last 10 games. Can this be the year the Brewers really do something?
