I remember laughing when I read, toward the end of 2005, that he was the only Nat to buy property that first year. Guz had a terrible year, and surely we all would have chipped in to ship him out. But he has gotten the last laugh, I'm sure!paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683734720896529408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-61711564104942656432009-08-01T22:09:31.374-04:002009-08-01T22:09:31.374-04:00Tonight was the worst excuse of bad baseball I hav...Tonight was the worst excuse of bad baseball I have ever seen. The life has been taken out of this team. Everybody is so busy looking at this team as a bunch of video game players that they don't look at them for their heart. I have a feeling Nick Johnson meant more to these guys than Mike Rizzo realized. <br /><br />I thought Mike Rizzo was trying to build a team of strong character. Everything he did was consistent with that plan. If so why did he bring back Dukes. Another bad move. Who is running the team?<br /><br />I will not watch the MLB Nats any longer this year. I will follow the Strasburg negotiations, Potomac, Harrisburg, Vermont, and GCL. Those are the only parts of this franchise that matter anymore.<br /><br />Hopefully, the FO will get straightened out by the winter meetings. Maybe someone will buy the franchise from the Lerners and bring some competent baseball people to the FO.NatsGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401416745131624177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-17824901158618075672009-08-01T18:16:14.036-04:002009-08-01T18:16:14.036-04:00I disagree. Nick was going to be a free agent and...I disagree. Nick was going to be a free agent and, if you can believe the reports in the paper, he and the Nats were unable to work out a contract extension. It's better to get something for him now, and then, if the team wants to get him back for next season, start negotiating again after the season's over. I like Nick as much as anyone, but I'd rather have this trade then let Nick play out the last 2 months of a disastrous season and then walk away in October with the Nats empty-handed.Mike Edgarhttp://www.aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-69494787860657754452009-08-01T12:23:42.162-04:002009-08-01T12:23:42.162-04:00SBF,

Nick Johnson was a very popular player. They should have said no to the Marlins. Really bad deal. I don't think Rizzo knows how to justify the deal.<br /><br />I was on the fence for giving Rizzo a chance, but not now. The whole bunch need to go.NatsGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401416745131624177noreply@blogger.com
