The Milwaukee Brewers pro baseball team, in the heat of a race for the playoffs, has just fired manager Ned Yost with 12 games remaining in the season.
The Brewers are in second place in the National League Central Division with an 83-67 record and are tied with the Philadelphia Phillies for the National League "wild card" playoff spot.
The Chicago Cubs are in first place in the Central Division with a 7 1/2 game lead over the Brewers and Phillies. The Brewers play three games
in Chicago starting tomorrow.
The Brewers have lost 11 of their last 14 games, including four losses in
Philadelphia this weekend.
Dale Sveum (pronounced 'swaym'), the Brewers bench coach, has been named acting manager.
To my knowledge, Yost was in the final year of his contract. He has been Brewers manager since 2003.
