It was time. He's not the guy we need to manage a team that's soon to be rebuilding.

Scapegoat for a poorly constructed team.

Kind of odd that they canned him after taking 2 of 3 from the Cubs. But I'm fine with it.

I would've waited until the end of the season to fire everybody. Hopefully these guys don't start playing well for the interim guy.

Yeah it's been in the works for a while but it is weird timing.

"It's all about wins and losses."

Then get your ass out too, Doug and tell Mark to stay the **** out of personnel decisions.

The fact that they're not announcing a manager until tomorrow morning makes me think they have someone in mind, which i think scares me

At least fans would finally start holding him accountable for something.

“@AaronGleeman: I'm no reporter, but for whatever it's worth someone who would know tells me the Brewers have been in contact with Ron Gardenhire's agent.”

Twitter is suggesting it could be Gardy. That would scare me for no other reason that they think this roster could win a pennant as it's currently constructed.
