Yikes...

I had some reservations about Crow, but it seems as if a $700K difference is what broke the camel’s back. Seems like this should have got done. Bowden’s press conference will be interesting to say the very least. This Nat fan wants him gone. Crow would have been our number one prospect, now we have to wait another year. How does this fit the plan?

Not another "year", eylf...

…as Mr. Bowden points out in Chico Harlan’s Nationals Journal post entitled, “Bowden on Crow”, the DC GM stated:

“…we’ll have two picks next year in the top 10, and we’ll just have to wait 10 more months.”

10 months, that’s it. So I guess the Plan, which I for one believe in…has been simply set back 10 months or so…give or take…from when it started in 2005…What? The Plan started in ’05, right? It started in ’06? Or when the Stadium plan was agreed upon? Wait? What “Plan” are we talking about again? When is the 5 years of the 5-Year Plan over, uh, exactly?

Everything I say is a "little" sarcastic.
