As for Ozzie Guillen...I don't know, I just don't know
Yeah that's my issue. It was bush.

As for ozzis I don't feel like he is a good fit. This is still a young team and they're gonna need steady level-headed leadership. Hard to say that is ozzies approach.,

Well...for the sake of accuracy, it should be noted Chico posted....some time ago. However, it appears he reiterated a point previously made by you. But carry on, Your doing a nice job for the Nats!

Re: Official Nationals and Orioles 2011 Thread

If I am a GM and a coach basically extorts me to give him a raise by the end of the game or I quit I'd have him escorted out of the stadium immediately. I actually give a lot of credence to Riggleman's complaint's but there is a professional way to handle it and giving an ultinatum to a GM to extend your contract right now or else isn't it.

Re: Official Nationals and Orioles 2011 Thread

I'm not so much worried about the long term impact of this but damn it! 11-1 in their last 12, we finally get 1 game over .500 and he quits now!? I feel like this, if anything, will be the downfall of the Nats the rest of the season, mainly because nobody saw this coming. I hope they prove me wrong and keep battling, and keep winning, because these last 12 have been a real treat to watch, and I want them to stay consistent.

True, plus Guillen is more likely headed to the Marlins.

I'm sure Bobby Valentine's name will be brought up too

Re: Official Nationals and Orioles 2011 Thread

What they need is another grind it out quiet type guy. They're increasingly willing to try and put talent on the field and they have a good nucleus of young talent...they don't need a big name guy to come in and mess with the talent just playing and growing. They definitely don't need a guy who'll be bigger than the team or anything. Not sure who I think the answer is...a Davey Johnson is a big name but he doesn't strike me as too big a personality...and he knows what the heck he is doing. But is he willing to ride a young team and let it grow and not get into a win-now type mode? They're almost better off just working to find a new guy and give him a shot. Too bad we're not 5 years down the road where they could just hire Pudge.

And McLaren's been ejected tonight. I think maybe ArtMonkDrillz is managing the team now

That call by the HPU was...... just something I've never seen happen before in baseball.

Re: Official Nationals and Orioles 2011 Thread

Real quick, gotta get out there for the bottom of the 9th, my Yahoo fantasy baseball status for the past 2 days actually says I'm taking over the Nats, so maybe you're on to something.

Plus, at the game last Friday I bought an Espinosa jersey and within 5 minutes a random guy told me I looked just like Danny. So I've got that going for me...
