As I matured, I put away this childish dream. Now, I see that, at age 50, SBF is actually living out my eight-year old me's dream - and without ANY of the hard work going into being president in order to gain these perks!!<br /><br />Does the African Queen realize that she is the principal enabler in this VERY LARGE KID'S FANTASY VOYAGE? Most assuredly.<br /><br />Trust in a Field of Dreams. And a thoroughly decent man-child helping to build it so they will come. All Fantastic.SenatorNathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049860385485455410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-30158778166998491992009-08-19T05:41:09.253-04:002009-08-19T05:41:09.253-04:00I hate to be the first to break horrible news, but...I hate to be the first to break horrible news, but I've heard reports at Yahoo! that the Nats are about to hire Jerry DiPoto as their new GM. This means they have been paying <b>NO</b> attention to what Rizzo has done for the last three months, and haven't listened at ALL to Nats fans who have said that Rizzo should be have the "interim" label removed from his title.<br /><br />One player by himself ususally does not lead a bad team to the playoffs. But the right GM usually CAN. If Rizzo is the Nats' GM, I firmly believe they can turn it around and even win a World Series. If Stan Kasten and the Lerners hire somebody else, then another team---possibly a N.L. East rival---will grab him.<br /><br />I cannot begin to describe my fury!<br /><br />http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090819&content_id=6499136&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlbEdward J.
