The Milwaukee Brewers haven't touched the playoffs since the Reagan administration, and it looks like they are going to do everything to make sure they get in this year.

That includes canning their manager after losing 11 of their last 14.

The Milwaukee Brewers fired Ned Yost on Monday (it's ok say WTF out loud) despite the success he's brought to the club this year.

"This was a very difficult move to make, and we appreciate all of the work that Ned has done to develop this team into a contender," general manager Doug Melvin said. "In the end, this was a collaborative decision made to put our club in the best position for the final two weeks of the season."

This move is obviously to spark the team, but could it backfire? We'll see.
