The Nats went after him in 2007 after the fired Robinson, but he had his sights set on winning a World Series with the Yankees. He's done that now, so he has nothing more to prove in New York.

If he's our best option on a night when preserving Strasburg's gem and the urgency to stop a losing streak, then "turn out the lights the party's over". This rocked my faith in Johnson as well. He's just too much of a Baseball 101 manager with no creativity. I hate to say it but he's starting to reveal he's a 70 year old old timer that isn't what this team needs right now.

That's hyperbole, but it's hyperbole I don't like, and it's worrisome because it's not the sort of think you should say on the radio. <br /><br />I'm actually more worried about Adam LaRoche, though. He is skin and bones. Now, I know he loses weight during the season. Before the ASB he said he had lost 17 pounds and was going to put a few back on during the break. Then he had that "flu." I don't think he put any weight on.

I listened to Rizzo on the radio--he doesn't sound like he's giving up or planning for 2014 (of course, he probably wouldn't say so if he were). He admitted he made a mistake with one lefty in the bullpen, no one asked him about Dan Haren. He said, he is in charge and the responsibility for the season is his. <br /><br />That's a little extreme, being as how he isn't in there striking out or dropping balls.

I think this team's postseason hopes are pretty much kaput, but the team is still at a crossroads. They can play respectable ball and at least try to make a run (even if they likely come up short because time is running out) or they can continue this downward slide and be competing with the Mets and Phillies for third place. It's up to them. But the season is really teetering on a ledge.David Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688741085167096291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-53392370359941771822013-07-25T00:04:44.397-04:002013-07-25T00:04:44.397-04:00I agree, NL.
