Your acting as if we won the world series last year..

Yeah, that's what I said.

Last I checked, the Nats were competitive (top two in the division, posted winning records) for the past four seasons. Being competitive isn't enough anymore. We need someone to bring home some hardware and anything less is just a fart in the wind.

Like Bud Black and his .477 winning percentage, right?

Im 100% sure if we win 98 games this coming season and make the playoffs all of you doubters will be singing Dusty's name. Matter of fact just making the playoffs this year is a feat on it own.

No. I want a manager who can help us win it all. We've already gotten to the post season a couple of time and while yes it's better than not getting there I want this team to win it all.

No, not him either.

Going to do any birding?

You know, we find that we like looking for songbirds. Florida is just not that great for that. Cape May at the beginning of October was cool though.

Is he still here?

Always a crap show here in DC

Dusty is going to make this season entertaining. He either gets fired by the All-Star Break by pulling a Rob Dibble or he wins the WS. I don't see any other possible outcomes for him.

I was shocked this didn't get bumped when he responded to the Chapman situation
what a joke - well no, its not a joke. that's the problem

MorseTheHorse · « **Reply #286 on:** December 11, 2015, 08:00:23 am »

well, I didn't think he'd be this big of a disaster before ~~the season~~ ~~spring training~~ 2016 even started.

He's just real old school in a bad way. That you have your guy's back no matter what happened. Just assumes it was overblown. Needs to just stick to his team.

My thought about his answer about team speed would have gotten a white guy fired or at least suspended. The libs certainly have a double standard.

Hey, he said "not being racist" afterward, what more do you want?

Coaching staff is set - Dan Firova is the new bullpen coach.

The Washington Nationals announced manager Dusty Baker’s full coaching staff on Tuesday, making the additions of bench coach Chris Speier, pitching coach Mike Maddux, hitting coach Rick Schu, first base coach Davey Lopes, third base coach Bobby Henley, assistant hitting coach Jacque Jones, and bullpen coach Dan Firova official.

I remember playing a baseball board game when I was in a kid in which Chris Speier was an absolute superstar. The game involved cards for each player, which were inserted into a spinner. You spun the arrow to see whether it was a hit or a out.

People need to lighten up on this stuff in general. Such a relief to not have a PR robot at the helm.

Yep. I mean, the fastest guy on his team is probably a Caucasian, but in general, his stereotype seems right.

Dusty's undefeated in Spring Training. Fire him now. He's maxed out.

Taylor batting leadoff. Because black CFers should always hit leadoff, right?

Don't be so narrowminded Slate - race & position have nothing to do with it. Spring Training must have led Dusty to start MATaylor.
