Nevermind the details, or even the facts at all. To the rest of the baseball world the team that lost 102 games was also embezzling from poor people. Bravo to the Lerners and Kasten for taking swift action. Kasten's anger at his earlier press conference was the very best face the team could put on right now. Anyone else within the organization who is tainted by this scandal should be dealt the same swift justice. <BR/>The big next question for me is; would Cordero come back now?Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923878229506483494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-54304964721667031162009-03-01T13:18:00.000-05:002009-03-01T13:18:00.000-05:00Good luck to Jimbo.

That said, I think this is a good and necessary move for the Nationals. <BR/><BR/>Mr. Bowden's reputation and, by extension, the Nationals, is not a good one. I believe that reputation prevented trades and other important deals (like signing first round draft picks) that the team must make to improve.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, this sad day will mark the start of an era of prosperity for the national pastime in the Nation's Capital.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-70186475336355608702009-03-01T10:58:00.000-05:002009-03-01T10:58:00.000-05:00Fair enough, but who gets the Segway?Fair enough, but who gets the Segway?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-55793655004039753412009-03-01T10:31:00.000-05:002009-03-01T10:31:00.000-05:00The Bowden years were certainly bittersweet with a...The Bowden years were certainly bittersweet with a few highs and many lows and this Frowneygate hopefully doesn't put the exclamation point on his career.<BR/><BR/>My hope is Jim is innocent of all criminal activity and his final chapter of his Nats career is with a team that does well and he gets some credit on his 2009 work with Olsen, Willingham, Cabrera, and Dunn.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I will miss Jim doing his impromtu live auction at the Nats Dream Foundation gala, and running in to him at faraway places like in Los Angeles at the Grammy Awards or nearby in a restaurant in Alexandria as Jim was always an upbeat guy and could put a smile on your face especially in the off-season as he was so optimistic about his hopes for the Nationals.<BR/><BR/>I don't have Jim in my speed-dial so I wish you good luck and I am sure we will see each other in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-10382201417541620432009-03-01T10:29:00.000-05:002009-03-01T10:29:00.000-05:00Yazzy, that's refreshing.Yazzy, that's refreshing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-55477275977010398312009-03-01T10:01:00.000-05:002009-03-01T10:01:00.000-05:00Now that he is gone, for good or for ill, let's no...Now that he is gone, for good or for ill, let's not waste any time doing a forensic study of the Bowden years.
