"If he wanted to offer support for Osuna, he would tell Osuna, not yell it in front of reporters and cameras.

No, this was something darker. Arrogance, intimidation and a contemptible sort of nastiness. Something the organization easily could have disavowed. Instead, it tried to spin it -- and whirled itself into a corner from which there is no extrication." - Jeff Passan

Can the punishment be like the Braves where they have to release all their international prospects or something...?

Worth every penny!  How do I get that little black circle?

even Chuck gets the ads lol...I thought with that membership you could avoid ads...

Sold on going for Cole, Wheeler, and Grandal.

Well, glad we got answers to absolutely nothing.

The Nationals certainly invested in their rotation contracts wise.  I hope Arte is willing to do similar.

I think Butcher was ok when he was here.  He did get into a verbal cussing match with Josh Donaldson.  Also, I think he leaned heavily towards Sosh in the Sosh vs. Dipoto face off.  In the end I think he was just a scapegoat.  Sosh got another chance to stay on, with a refreshed coaching staff.  Most of the coaches had to go, with all the losing.

I'd be ok with any of Callaway, Searage, Hickey, Butcher, etc.

Time for a Butch Hatch job?

Can Joe hire Barry from Storage Wars to be on his staff?

Just hire Maddon today.  I don't want him going to Friedman and the Dodgers.  

Dodgers will find some way to blow this, and I'll just laugh.

Step 1) Maddon

Step 2) Cole

Step 3) Some other dudes

Step 4) Championship

Testing 1 2 3...

He was only here for 30 years.

Keep Fletcher at 3B, Simmons at SS, La Stella at 2B, with Rengifo as UT.

La Stella back!  Season saved!!
