So, when will Manny get fired?  I doubt he makes it to the AS Break.

There's alot of baseball left to be played, but if we get off to a rough start like last year, I'm all for Manny getting canned. I know this is one game, but this is embarrassing.

Dibble obviously hasn't seen many of the Nats games...he's talking about showing character and not giving up.

I'm not saying he should get fired, it's just about the only thing we haven't tried yet.

You can show all the character you want, but if you don't have the talent to win.....you're not going to win.

I am officially on the Fire Manny Acta bandwagon... as I said recently, he plays favorites, and he sucks (with his players). His time has gone, let him go the Mets :rofl:

Agreed. I think it's on him this year. I know this team is not going to win the series, but I expect some improvement over last year.

I'm not like overexaggerating or anything, I'm for real. Fire him ASAP.

Not that I'm willing to say that we'd be doing better right now starting Dukes over Milledge, etc., but I will say that his ST actions pissed me off as well.  No more randomly declaring Milledge the CF starter, etc.  Playing favorites is only a bad thing if the favorites are marginal at best.  Which applies to Milledge, for sure, at least right now.

I think Manny is too consistently calm with these gutless, half-assed performances.  I'd like to see him show a little fire.

How convenient that sportsfan isn't here today.  Guthrie and the Orioles are beating the Yanks while Lannan got knocked out against the freaking Marlins. :|

I wonder if the Marlins would give us Bonafacio back for Milledge?

Milledge is neither a CF or a leadoff hitter.  I have no idea why he keeps trying it.

On the bright side, at least we didn't waste one of our allotted HD games.  :hang: :woop: :glug:

I've never understood this.  Hating a team because they beat your ass?

It's not their fault the Nationals suck.

I mean, it's not like there aren't reasons to hate the Marlins, but you could try their pathetic fanbase and jerk owner.

For once, his rants would be justified, at least for today.
