Yost Toast
I'm getting emails from all over that the Brewers fired Ned Yost.
"This was a very difficult move to make, and we appreciate all of the work that Ned has done to develop this team into a contender," GM Doug Melvin said. "In the end, this was a collaborative decision made to put our Club in the best position for the final two weeks of the season."
Dale Sveum takes over, and a coaching staff overhaul is in the works. Yost managed just one collapse too many, but I'm surprised the move came now. This must put Fire Ned Yost out of business.
Update: It seems to me that if the whole team stops hitting, there's not much a manager can do. Add to that 3/5 of the rotation and the two big guns in the bullpen, and you have a disaster. If Yost wore them down, I can't see how Sveum fixes that. If he pissed them off so much they don't want to play, maybe Dale can help.

Looks like jerky spent a little too much time crying about would-be no-hitters and schedule quirks while his team is TANKING. This is a white flag from the pathetic True Blew Brew Crew.
The Day-by-Day database appears to have confused Enrique Gonzalez of the Padres with Mark DiFelice of the Brewers.
Fixed, thanks for noticing!
Exactly, Chris. That whining display only distracted his squad.
