I wish him well with his time with the Mets. Even though he will be playing for a team I have never really liked, I will cheer him and Ryan Church on as a fan of the player not necessarily the team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-4160388219853120322007-12-15T08:17:00.000-05:002007-12-15T08:17:00.000-05:00SBF,Why do you even bother responding to anonymous...SBF,<BR/><BR/>Why do you even bother responding to anonymous? His constant bitter commentary and questioning seem to indicate that he's not a very happy person. The large majority of us who read and contribute to your blog with questions and commentary of our own appreciate the time and hard work that you put into keeping us all entertained and well-informed. I wish you would just ignore that guy. He never seems to have anything constructive to contribute to the discussion. He'd rather just be a bomb thrower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-64522969290352076592007-12-14T22:08:00.000-05:002007-12-14T22:08:00.000-05:00Brian is one of the most grounded players I have e...Brian is one of the most grounded players I have ever met. The team will not only miss him, but they will also miss Jordan and all the rest of his family. I know many of the players got to know and listen to Brian's Dad. But, then again this team is changing so much by next year there will be so many new players the National players won't remember who Brian was.<BR/>Prediction, if Brian doesn't go into coaching when his career is over, he will be a great color man for the Nats TV.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-69655542267285697922007-12-14T19:51:00.000-05:002007-12-14T19:51:00.000-05:00Thanks for this, SBF.

Like Mike Edgar's niece, Brian was my favorite in that first season, and I'll wear my #23 T-shirt to Nationals Park when they play the Mets. He's a good guy, and he really helped our pitchers play above themselves in 2007.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07243007019646325480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-70916230364956481842007-12-14T19:17:00.000-05:002007-12-14T19:17:00.000-05:00Expose--Thanks for the nice comments.Mr. Anonymous...Expose--Thanks for the nice comments.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Anonymous--My silence as you note has been GOLDEN. As in Golden Time. For the past 36 hours, I have worked extensively on THE MITCHELL REPORT for my Television Network. Sorry if my delay in posting on the subject did not work within your schedule. Time would not allow. But, my feelings are forthcoming.<BR/><BR/>By the way--I bet you didn't get an interview today with Paul Godfrey--President and CEO of The Toronto Blue Jays--Did you?<BR/><BR/>No--I didn't think so. Well--I did--for my television network.Screech's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094199653375184305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-62138737823651048382007-12-14T17:43:00.000-05:002007-12-14T17:43:00.000-05:00Very nice talk with Brian Schneider.

I'm just trying to stay focused."<BR/><BR/>Kind of sums up his performance on the Nationals, doesn't it? I hope he does a better job of staying focused now, on whatever the hell he is trying to stay focused on, than he did of staying focused when he was on the field.

SBF's instincts are correct: character matters, and the Nats arrived in D.C. with some unusually respectable, aware guys, now gone. <BR/><BR/>Question: was Nook Logan 4 foot 9 inches tall, weighing 95 pounds, before he took HGH?!<BR/><BR/>Trust in The Process?

I am so tired of media types who overinflate the importance of post-game schmoozing, as if it is akin to leadership or some other higher order. I am sure there are plenty of schmoozers who were not great team leaders, and plenty of surly guys who were great teammates (Eddie Murray comes to mind).<BR/>What a wonderful juxtaposition your interview with Schneider is with Mr. Ladson's potshots from afar.paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683734720896529408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-25479639040522711092007-12-13T22:17:00.000-05:002007-12-13T22:17:00.000-05:00Great interview, SBF.

But, since he'll be with the Mets, she'll still be able to see him play quite a bit next season. <BR/><BR/>Brian Schneider's a very easy guy to root for, regardless of his batting average, and I'm going to miss him. I would love it if he returned to the Nats in couple of years, perhaps when they're on the verge of winning a championship and need a great defensive catcher? It's a nice dream!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-91415604110345027022007-12-13T21:51:00.000-05:002007-12-13T21:51:00.000-05:00Good stuff.
