[quote name='Nate Nanjo']Washington started playing great baseball this month, sweep the Mariners and Riggleman quits for not having his 2012 option picked up.[/QUOTE]
I don't think the Nats wanted to retain Riggleman at the end of the season anyway. I just don't know if its a good thing because the Nats are now responding to his managing and they have been on a tear. And now they have good ole Davey Johnson at the helm who has a ton of catching up to do. This will be interesting as the season goes on.
[quote name='speedracer']Just wanted to say I'm not posting here because my team is a smoldering crater and that's not going to change for years.
you McCourt. I've never seen a team so completely and utterly destroyed by an owner. In any sport.[/QUOTE]
*ahem* look no further than the NY Mets my friend. We are in the same boat my friend. The NY Met will not play competitive baseball for another 5-6 years because of the continuous set backs ownership keeps creating. Not to mention they have the world's worst medical staff which I really think they just hired people off the street on the cheap to treat injuries.(look no further than Ike Davis and the boot). The only thing ownership did right was hiring the Money Ball crew. That is it.
[quote name='goodbyetonight']I went to see Phil Hughes' rehab start today, he didn't pitch all that great. He definitely needs more work before he makes it back to MLB. Brian Cashman was there and I met him and he signed my ticket, which was pretty cool. Hughes didn't sign for anyone though, even after a bunch of people waited outside in the rain for him. Lamesauce, Phil.[/QUOTE]
That sucks but he could have been salty from not pitching well and in front of Cashman no less. So he probably didn't want to see anyone that day.
