Washington Times update...

There are still plenty of people in the organization that don’t believe he has the right attitude to succeed up here. And that feeling was only strengthened when Dukes reported late to the ballpark this morning. Yep, players were supposed to be dressed by 10 a.m. Dukes didn’t arrive until after that, at which point he was told of his demotion.

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.

and (some) players feel like they have to walk on eggshells around him and give him a wide berth in the locker room. that’s a pretty small room to be that uncomfortable with someone.

I think the guy has lived his whole life in the Bermuda Triangle of unhappiness and he doesn't know

any better. No excuses here just facts. It’s hard for some people to rise above their past and it seems that way with him.

Admittedly...

I don’t know much about him except what they show on the news. He just seemed to make the news a lot. Not lately, though. Presumably because he was in the minors.

Pas I not writing out of malice. Reading about he's back ground alone (articles when he was sign etc) and my personal experience..

with family members in jail on drugs etc and so on put me in a place to talk abou thim. I to have been praying he can over come his past, but I know to well that most don’t.

honest story

last year i went to a nats game with some friends from college, one of my friends friend was best friends with zim all through high school so he treated us to a game, and going out with zim afterwards,

elijah was really a great guy and a cool ass dude to talk to, i live in richmond and he was down here on rehab with columbus and saw me and remembered me and hooked me up with a hat and some seeds for the rest of the game, so i have a soft spot for him

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.

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.

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.

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
