We’ve got a couple moves in the “rash but probably deserved firing” department: Ned Yost is out as the Brewers’ manager, while Raiders coach Lane Kiffin is reportedly in the final throes of employment for Al Davis.
Yost guided Milwaukee to the brink of the postseason, but a 3-11 start to the month of September eroded the team’s 5½-game lead in the NL wild card race, and ownership apparently prefers the team’s chances with third-base coach Dale Sveum finishing the year in charge. My take: people named Ned are 700% more likely to be fired than non-Neds.
As for Kiffin, his troubles with the team are well-documented. Over the off-season, he refused to resign, while Davis didn’t want to fire him because he’d have to continue paying Kiffin. With Kiffin’s public statements last week about how he doesn’t control the defense, Davis’s mind was made up, according to Nancy Gay of the San Francisco Chronicle. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will take over the team, immediately returning some much-needed “white trash chic” to the team.

When reached for comment, Art Shell is quoted as saying, “I think the third time will be the charm for me. I really do.”
Busy day for Donald Trump?

the lions need to clean house!!!! lets hear it!
porkchop, you fucking suck. Go spam elsewhere.
At least Ned Yost still has his job at the Leftorium.
Homer Simpson is confused by this post…on the one hand, Ned got fired, on the other hand, something called “porkchop” is filling everyone with rage-ahol.
Milhouse, cut.
Rumor has it Al Davis is leaning toward replacing Kiffin with Gene Upshaw.
The Milwaukee Brewers have learned that the wild card race is one crushing defeat after another, until you just wish Flanders was dead.
So Lane, now that you and the Raiders aren’t seeing each other anymore is it okay if I ask them out?
Perhaps Ned can go hang out with Willie Randolph; they might have some stuff in common.
Rob Ryan – yes because the defense was a shining beacon of hope in Week 1.
was al davis wearing an onion on his belt?
Lane Kiffin broke one of the Raiders codes.
He won.
At least we can be sure that Chris Berman probably has a gun in his mouth right now.
I heard that they’re going to promote their top scout, Paul Hackett. Al Davis likes him a lot because they both are completely useless except when ground up and used as fertilizer. But even then, all they’ll do is help you cultivate a garden of stupidity.
Now that’s a real shame when folks be throwin’ away a perfectly good white coach like that.
Gee, I’m really sorry your team blew up, Al, guess they won’t be able to eat any spicy foods for awhile.
Kiffin to Syracuse?
