Don Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The Nationals released Odalis Perez today after he didn't show up for camp.StoryGood for them.no returned phone calls, nothing. he signed the damn contract. good riddance.anyways the day is wasted for Nats news considering the "Mayor" of NatsTown Jim Bowden is being investigated by the FBI for skimming bonus money from Dominican prospects. ridiculous. the guy needs to resign to save face for the organization, they cant handle anymore bad press. bad enough turned us into his own perverted version of the Cincinnati Reds, now hes under investigation by the freakin FBI. go figure.

Don Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 it makes people feel like "we waited over 30 years for this??" these Nats are just as bad as the expansion Senators if not worse. at least we know the teams not going anywhere with all the money the city just blew on a new park.

Kasten needs to do the right thing and advise Bowden to step down or take a leave of absence till this thing is over with. the team is too young to handle such a distraction.

JayJaxon Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 When I get back to the States for good in June, I will have to spend a night in D.C. I would love to go check out a game at the new stadium, even if they are not doing so hot. I was going to go last time I was in D.C. But the cab ride was too far from Dulles and I wouldn't have made the start of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaltimoreFan Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Good to see the O's represented:1. Matt Wieters22. Chris Tillman25. Brian Matusz67. Jake ArrietaThe future looks bright if all three of the pitchers develop as expected. It will be awesome to see Wieters this year. Markakis was alot of fun to watch when he was a rookie, I imagine Wieters will be about 10x better. I just hope the O's wait a couple weeks, so we can get an extra year out of him.
