Nationals Hot as ever, Finally over .500, and they force their Manager out...

Only the Nationals. Players love Riggleman, and the front office didn't want to extend him so he's gone. :fuck:

die hard Nats fan and don't know what to think
part of me thinks even if you are upset with the contract situation, you still have an obligation to honor your contract through 2011. but who knows. this is nonsense all around

a real man finishes up the season, gets the team into the playoffs. if the players like him so much they probably would play harder to keep the guy. just my 2 cents

This was all over an extension that was supposed to get done... Riggleman felt like they didn't live up to their agreement and that he was lied to. Weird situation all around.
