... it takes is a glance at the standings to know that the first quarter of 2008 didn't go the way the Milwaukee Brewers would've liked. Yovani Gallardo's out at the rotation behind him has fallen apart, Eric Gagne's been a huge bust, and the team that was supposed to contend with the Cubs for the NL Central title is limping along at 20-24 and in last place in the NL Central. Things are getting so bad, Ryan Braun's starting to question his team's effort. From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Brewers Blog: "I almost felt like this series, we ...

... D for dismal. The Crew just finished getting swept by the defending champs in a sorry weekend that was summed up succinctly by Ryan Braun. And I thought maybe they were turning a corner with the series win against the Cards. As of this posting the Crew is dead last in the NL central. They have definitely lost the edge they played with most of last year. Most of the blame is piling up on Yost and while that might be justified or not, the fact is he might be in danger of totally losing the clubhouse soon (if he hasn't already). Like I said last week I don't think it's time to ...

Are the Brewers going to fire Ned Yost today?

... 's comments that the team didn't "expect to win," this is the right time for owner Mark Attanasio and GM Doug Melvin to pull the plug on Yost. The Brewers are 20-24, in last place in the NL Central and already seven games behind the first-place Cubs. If now is not the time to shake things up and send Yost and his sometimes prickly tactics elsewhere, when is? ...

The Firing That Wasn't

... While BadgerBlogger can not independently confirm this, sources close to the Milwaukee Brewers organization tell BadgerBlogger late this evening, in the midst of another horrid road trip, and on the heels of a sweep by the Boston Red Sox, that Brewers manager Ned Yost will be relieved of his duties during the team’s off day Monday, and replaced on an "interim" basis by team bench coach Ted Simmons. ...

... things to the forefront--but thought that Brewers GM Mark Attansio would exercise some patience. Monday came and went, and the Yoster is still standing strong at the managerial post of the Milwaukee Brewers. The same Milwaukee Brewers that we picked to win the NL Central and go to the NLCS. They're 7.5 games out of first right now and their team leader Ryan Braun, fresh off signing an 8-year contract, let it be known that he is not happy. You gotta hope that the ...
