Big League Stew found this 5/20/2008 on www.brewcrewball.com [flag]
Well, Monday comes to a close, and despite all of the rumors --- well, rumor --- Ned Yost still seems to be employed as the head coach of your Milwaukee Brewers.  Whether or not he should be fired (he should) and if it will happen later this week (it should) is beside the point.  I wanted to mention the source of the rumor and our good friend Tom Haudricourt at the JS Blogs.  ...

THT Live:The firing that wasn’t
Published 5/20/2008 by Bryan Tsao at The Hardball Times
The firing that wasn’t by Bryan Tsao May 20, 2008 Brew Crew Ball does a great job of breaking down how the "Ned Yost is fired" story got started .

Yost Goes All Bissinger

Hugging Harold Reynolds posted 5/20/2008 from huggingharoldreynolds.blogspot.com

Brewers throwing darts for starts

mysportsrumors posted 5/21/2008 from mysportsrumors.com

Could Ned Yost just be throwing darts at a board to choose the Milwaukee Brewers next starting pitcher?
