There are still plenty of people in the organization that don’t believe he has the right attitude to succeed up here.

I think Dukes is a product of his upbringing, alas.

Plus Manny has never liked him or wanted him around. He felt like he was one of those problem people Bowden saddled him with (along with Da Meathook). So I don’t think Manny went out of his way to try to help Dukes at all. IMHO, of course, but it’s based on what I’ve read and some of Manny’s quotes.

Hey, come on!

This is Francoeur we’re talking about. He’s “The Natural”. Can’t get much better than that…

Ok, fine. We’ll give you Garrett Anderson. But you’ll have to include Dunn….

So here's my question: was it A) Fair and B) Wise for manny

to put Burnett into this game when he literally just arrived?
I say no.

I also say no....... but, it would have likely been the others to blow it. Gotta break in the new guy's psyche...

Yeah, I know someone else would have probably blown it, but

it just seems a bad idea to bring in a relief pitcher who hasn’t even had a chance to get to know the catcher. And we all know Wil calls a “quirky” game at best.

Of course it's a bad idea, even if he wasn't late to an early game...... Thank Manny/McCatty

Does Burnett have some skeletons in his closet or

does he have a questionable character?
Manny seems to like to set those players up for the fall as soon and as often as possible.
It’s his form of passive aggression.
Don’t like it.

question for the Dukes haters

Who would you rather have on the Nats right now Eli or AK?

by Parks Smith on Jul 1, 2009 3:56 PM EDT reply actions  

-AK, +DOOKS!

And this from a confirmed AK fan… but being a citizen of NatsTown™ I am used to disappointment…

Dooooks!

Bluegrass is really a waste of space and $$$$.
I hope he’s giving a LOT to charity because he is not earning that $8 million he’s scheduled to make.
Poor Dukes is only making $450,000.

The worst thing is...

He has a million dollar buyout for next year. So he steals fizzy lifting drinks (worth 8 million dollars) and then we have to pay him a cool million to go away.

by RoscoeNats on Jul 1, 2009 4:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Dukes.....

With two outs and runners on first and third, Hanley Ramirez lined a base hit to right field, where the plodding Willingham was playing deep. By the time he was able to retrieve the ball in shallow right, Emilio Bonifacio had scored all the way from first base

He's a loyal White Sox fan.

You have to respect him for that, right?
Plus he probably doesn’t want the Nats’ suck to rub off on him. He’s got lots to do.
