Oh, hell. And Robinson is two wins from 1000.
Priorites, priorities,priorities: Will The Chief get 40+ saves?
Of course he will.
Bowden has actually done a pretty good job as Nationals' GM, given the bizarre circumstances imposed on teh club by the Omissioner, Bug Selig, and his chief henchman, Havana Pete, the Plague of Pratt Street. Given a limited budget, he did what he could with the pitching staff, got a slugger, and built up a very nice bench.
I hope he's around to continue his work. However, I don't think this incident will help him. And the Nats-hating iddiots in the DC media will pound this, instead of talking about the Nats, Caps, and Bull-er, Wizards winning the same night. Oh, and they'll bleat endlessly about the Redskins, of course, conveniently ignoring the three teams that are actually playing.
I bet they have to drop the domestic battery charge against the girlfriend, as Bowden is the chief witness and I bet he won't testify against her.
The sooner he can get back to running the Nationals, the better. They can't name an owner too soon, but knowing the Omissioner's record, it could be years.
