Even a good manager - which Williams certainly is not - is not overcoming the Strasburg curse

Anybody want the "under" for next year?Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

Looks like Dusty Baker and Bud Black are the two finalists for the manager job. They are the only two candidates getting a second interview.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I hope Dusty is done. Please, do not let him torment another team's fans.

HA
those poor bastards
"Bud Black and the Nationals never settled on the deal, despite reports, and Washington reached out to Dusky Backer to offer him the job, according to the CBS Sports website. USA Today reports talks between the Nationals and Black are over."
(note autocorrect problems; this is on the front page of espn.com)In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

Apparently they didn't get Black because they couldn't come to an agreement on a contract.
Their final offer was 1 year, 1.6 million. Ugh.
The Nationals chose Black on Wednesday, but the terms had to be ironed out. According to another person familiar with the situation, Black was “deeply offended” by the Nationals’ first offer and the talks didn’t get back on track after that. According to a tweet from an account believed to belong to Black’s wife, the initial offer was for one-year, $1.6 million.
