The Brewers are officially done with manager Ned Yost, firing the skipper earlier this afternoon. Yost served as Milwaukee's coach for the past 6 seasons, not making it to the postseason in either of those years. He received quite a bit of criticism for not confronting players who were slumping or having problems, and served as a lightning-rod for the media lately. Milwaukee personnel said that it was a strict ownership decision, and that they were not about to fall short of the playoffs like they did in 2007. Especially after acquiring CC Sabathia from the Cleveland Indians, you wouldn't expect this Brewers club to fall like they have been. Milwaukee and Philadelphia now sit deadlocked on the top of the NL Wild Card, both having the day off today.
