The husband and wife team that create the major league baseball schedule have been fired, ESPN reports. After 24 years, Henry and Holly Stephenson were told that they've been replaced.

I hate the current MLB schedule. It needs to be more balanced in terms of matchups being divided equally before and after the All Star Break. Gaps of time between series are need to prevent teams from facing an opponent multiple times while one of the teams may have a devastating injury. Oh, and FOX can't have input on "sweeps" series like the ones that prevented the Cubs from playing St. Louis after, what? April 4th?

Let's see if these guys at Pittsburgh-based Sports Scheduling Group do anything better. I doubt they can do worse.
