ESPN is reporting that Davey Johnson is the manager for the rest of this season, and next, according to Twitter.

G-burg has Upark on ignore.

Espn.com is running a story on DJ being the next Nats Manager for this season and next

The DJ hiring sticks it to the Orioles, too.

I like it.

I remember how pissed I was as a kid - back when I was an "O's fan" - that they crap-canned him.

How sweet this would be.

I love the dig at Riggleman with the two year deal.

I love Davey Johnson as the hire, but it would have been glorious if they had given like Rick Eckstein or somebody a multi-year deal.

Whoever said Bernie looks like Morse, you're totally right.  They look like mirror images of each other now.

I'm rolling my eyes because you are far from unique in your regard for Johnson.

Shaving his beard didn't do a thing for Werth's hitting.  He needs to come up with another plan.

I don't know enough about him to say either way but I am not going to assume he is going to be a savior.

His track record looks good but that was decades ago. Who's to say he can still manage?

It will be news when you're NOT outspoken on a topic.    :rofl:

I think WPA's been beating the Johnson drum before you, anyway.    :stir:
