  I'm not sure which one of these is full of crap, but what the hell is wrong with people that they can't wait a couple of days to find this out?  I hate the 'scoop' atmosphere.

Blogger 'Breaks' Firing of Ned Yost
Published 5/19/2008 by Eamonn Brennan at FanHouse
... The Journal-Sentinel's Brewers Blog is wary of the post, but passes it along anyway. Tom Haudricourt believes Dale Sveum would replace Yost, and not Ted Simmons, as Sveum has been with the club longer and it is unknown whether Simmons would even want to manage. So, you know, maybe Yost will get canned today. Maybe not. It's anybody's guess, literally. ...

Irresponsible Blogger Claims That Yost Will Be Fired Today
Published 5/19/2008 by noreply@blogger.com (Craig Calcaterra) at ShysterBall
A blogger of all people is claiming that Ned Yost will be fired as Brewers' manager today. If he's right, score one for inside dirt from anonymous tipsters. If he's wrong, cue the Bissinger/Wilbon/Chass/etc. chorus for their latest version of the Irresponsible Blogger Cantata. My view on this kind of stuff is that bloggers should feel free to break all the news they want, but they need to be held every bit as accountable as a paid reporter is when they screw up. So, good luck Badger Blogger! For what it's worth, I'd probably can Yost too. This is a team that ...

... one more quality clip for the center fielder’s lengthy career highlight reel. Boston’s Jon Lester has held the Royals hitless through 7 1/3 innings, and with the exception of a walk to Billy Butler, Lester’s perfect on the night. In the event Lester takes his bid for a no-no into the 9th, I’ll be coming over to your house and changing the channel. To “The Bachelorette”.

This news was met with much rejoicing but backed with no actual evidence. Given that, Tom H. went ahead and posted an unsubstantiated rumor, again, to much rejoicing. Of course, it later turned out the rumor was false. Tom has taken this opportunity to ...
