Are The Brewers Going To Fire Ned Yost Today? One Fiesty Little Blog Says Yes

A small political site called Badger Blogger reported late Sunday that Ned Yost is likely to be fired by the Brewers this afternoon.

The Ned Campaign Pulls Out All the Stops


We don't mean to influence the Deadspin Hall of Fame voting — we're impartial, totally — but how could we not point out what is surely the first commenter-produced campaign video in this site's history?

The Legend Of Ned Grows

What makes a hero? Is a man born to be remembered through the ages, or is greatness thrust upon him whether he desires it or not? History may little note nor long remember the fight between Florida International and the University of Miami.
