I think Milwaukee...

Must have been something real big to do it at this time.

Yeah, really.

I wonder if Yost got into it with the GM or one of the players or something.

why would that change anythng?

he fought w/ a player in the DUGOUT last season… thats suddenly unacceptable?

Now, where'd I put that button....

These things...

…can build over time, and I would think something big put it over the top.

i never thought he be fired in midseason….

interesting to see the fall out as we go forward.

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Sep 15, 2008 2:11 PM CDT up 0 recs

Yeah, it could have been a full-on player mutiny...

…or Yost may have gotten into a really heated (physical?) altercation with the GM. Something along those lines.
