that's silly. They've added what, $600m in value to the club since they bought it and have turned it into a perennial NL contender and a place where top players want to play? Because they extended Strasburg? So they get mocked for bad managerial decisions?They can put all the negative publicity to rest if they extend Harper this off-season.
I think they get mocked because they refuse to pay a manager a salary commensurate with the MLB pay scale. They seem to value the managerial position right up there with the head locker room custodian.....among other things
How many of the highest paid managers sat out the playoffs this year?
Not all coaching salaries are published, but of the ones I can find, Scoicia, Bochy, Showalter and Mattingly all made more than Dusty and missed the playoffs.
Tom Lavatory on the radio said they were the joke of baseball.
Loverro is like that fat secretary at work who always has "juicy gossip" to offer because she wants attention. He tends to exaggerate things in order for it to sound more interesting. Did he at least say why they were considered "the joke of baseball"?
Loverro was just sitting on the side of the verizon center smoking a giant cigar
How does he get away with that? Isn't there a no smoking ordinance?
Kasten left I understood because of philosophical differences. When Bowden was ushered out he said the Lerner's ran the team like a shopping mall. Clearly Rizzo has had the rug pulled out from under him on occasion and I don't expect he will be here after his contract is up.Who knows?Sometimes people win despite themselves(That will never happen to Danny Snyder)
Poor Rizzo forced to cope with a top ten payroll, however does he cope
their incredible cheapness caused the nats to lose out on solid relievers and start season with a bs bp only dustys magic kept them winning and this is how they pay him back rizzo and lerners were saved from some awful deals by players opting out not through their genius they wanted to sign them and failed of course they wiffed on many solid fas which is inexcusable yankees astros dodgers cubs all made big time moves and nats were plugging the dike with a couple relievers ridiculousthis team will always be a contender but never a winner thats rizzo philosophy you get what you aim for as a fa i would never play for such an organization harper would be crazy to stay
