If a team is doing horribly, the manager will be scapegoated, even if he has little or nothing to do with the poor performance.
thus a problem, acta does a few things that I question, but I don't see the Nationals failure due to him, if the Royals do fail, it can easily be associated with the mistakes of Mr. Hillman. If I was the Royals GM, I would be thinking long and hard about everything that is going on and see if the reality is, is this team better off without him? i am sure there are internal things we just don't know about though.Quote:

i am assuming sarcasm? haha, I am not a Baker fan, he should never be allowed near another prospect ever again. I still believe he is responsible for the fall of many "could be great" players.Quote:

Dusty Baker owes a substantial amount of his career to Barry Bonds.

It was close, but in now official that the Nats are the biggest joke out of MLB, NBA, NFL, and hockey. Hard to do.
The whole NBA is a jokeQuote:

You don't expect players to notice the spelling, but you expect Acta to, when he has to worry about managing the game, etc.? I wouldn't expect any of the on-field personnel to notice the spelling of the words on their jerseys, mostly because any normal person would take for granted that the words are spelled correct.Quote:

It would really be bad if the jerseys were made in the USA.
reminds me of an old snickers commercial where the guys is painting the touchdown zone for the Chiefs....and accidentally spells it Chefs....and a players says, "great job, but who are the Chefs?"Quote:
