A noxious odor is emanating from Nats Park!
The Bud Black charade has morphed into Dusty Baker! Maybe the proximity to Baltimore (and Peter Angelos) or our joke of a football team in DC (owned by Danny Boy Snyder), have rubbed off on the Lerners.
We all know Baker ruins pitchers. Why did they even interview Dusty twice? What about all the excellent people they didn’t even interview? Dave Martinez, the Cubs Bench Coach, comes to mind. Ron Roenicke, formerly the Brewers Mgr. is another. Donny Ballgame is a third (he was nuts to sign with Miami).
Ever since the wacko hiring of “Choker” Papelbon, the Nats have been in a downward spiral. They are working hard to just be an after-thought in 2016. You saw it here:) One poster on the MASN site says the Nats have become the laughingstock of MLB. Right on!

Pete, I am not going to convince you Dusty Baker is the man for the job am I? Heck, I’m not sure he is either. But you gotta talk to a guy who was a three-time NL Manager of the Year who led three different – different mind you – teams to the post-season. Who has that resume? Sounds like Black didn’t like being offered one year AND the money involved…and also that they wouldn’t guarantee him more than two. At least the Nationals didn’t hire another Williams-type. That would have been a disaster.
Metro and the Nats both messed up their manager search in the same day! That must be some kind of record. Support Foreign Service Kids!

Tim and Bruce: thanks for your comments. This just smells bad. Maybe the “DC sports virus” has got the Nats in it’s grip. Pete
