Between this and the Milledge move, it seems like Rizzo is doing whatever he can to prove that there's a new sheriff in town, whether or not it makes sense. It smells a little desperate to me.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888321537432587766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074246508221440257.post-58956699570201125872009-04-18T23:34:00.000-04:002009-04-18T23:34:00.000-04:00"the outfielder was warned that if he was late aga...<A HREF="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090418&content_id=4326576&vkey=news_was&fext=.jsp&c_id=was&partnerId=rss_was" REL="nofollow">"the outfielder was warned that if he was late again, he would be optioned to Triple-A Syracuse."</A>This seems a pretty extreme punishment/warning for a guy who has been 5 minutes (!) late twice in two years. Especially since he was signing balls for Little Leaguers... This seems to be another case of Manny/FO looking silly in the press over what should have been a very minor issue. <br /><br />How long do you think Hanrahan will keep the closer's spot?Wil Nieveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551019393064585336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074246508221440257.post-73923243784344045212009-04-18T21:10:00.000-04:002009-04-18T21:10:00.000-04:00Sometimes, ya just gotta shake your head in disbel...Sometimes, ya just gotta shake your head in disbelief and laugh.<br /><br />Me, I moved down here to south Florida 12 years ago and I am laughing heartily as I watch the Marlins make mincemeat of the NL East.<br /><br />I'm calling for the Nats to win the remainder of their victories by default, as their opponents refuse to take the field against a AAA ball club.<br /><br />Cheers!Bote Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12924676358156839751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074246508221440257.post-68781342329597514442009-04-18T21:01:00.000-04:002009-04-18T21:01:00.000-04:00Steven,

Same as Milledge who is not ever going to play CF or Lead Off for the Nats or anyone else....That was the biggest deflator of the year and it was all Manny Acta. Time to pay the bill.JayBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11448827055342357809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074246508221440257.post-45167959274117573342009-04-18T19:52:00.000-04:002009-04-18T19:52:00.000-04:00I'll amend my first point.
