Dusty is in dc.

Still has more seasons making the playoffs with the Nats than Davey.  Happy for Darren.

He should have never been hired in the first place.

Yes, but was too $$$ for the Lerner manager budget, which is about the same as the manager budget for the McD's on South Capitol St

No, they can't. Dusty was the worst possible choice for managing a Mike Rizzo built team. There is a reason that the Astros were the only team that could get him over the hump. They literally built a Dusty-proof pen.

I was fine with Dusty Baker. Wanted him retained. Next guy won a World Series. Dusty then did his thing Houston. All’s well that ends well.

Nats claim RHP Michael Rucker from the Phillies and dfa blankenhorn to clear a 40-man slot. Rucker had good stats for Philly but something like a .500 BaBiP

Yes, they're 17 games over and likely headed to the playoffs, the Nats were one of the first to be eliminated. 

The D-backs refused to the play the contract with Jordan Montgomery, and sent him to the 'pen.  DFA'd Mad Bum and ended up in the World Series.  Meanwhile, this org plays Keibert, Corbin, and Gallo because of their contracts.  The D-backs know when to cut ties or demote a bad player, which is what they did with Floro, meanwhile Mini Me refuses to let such a thing happen here, and we kept a guy in the rotation with a 5.50 ERA.  Rizzo can't admit a mistake, the D-backs do that all the time, and look who wins more.  They're going to the playoffs this season after making the WS last year, and we're sitting here hoping that the losing season streak doesn't make it to 7.   Give me a break.
