    I applaud Jim Riggleman. He made a decision that not many men would be 'strong' enough to make.
    It is extremely unfortunate that the Washington Nationals treated such a 'good' man as they did.
    His great job as manager should have been rewarded with a lucrative contract befitting his performance.
    Hopefully there is a 'smarter' GM out there somewhere who will use his abilities more wisely!

    Rizzo screwed up not because he did not offer an extension but because he should have talked Riggleman down from his rash move he was considering. Something like "you're doing good and all options will be on the table at the end of the season" etc. After all, Rizzo is the ultimate manager of the organization and now things are out of control so he did not do his job.
    As for Riggleman, I can empathize but he made a terrible move for himself; most likely ending his career as an MLB manager. There are only 30 jobs out there and he had one of them and the opportunity to prove himself.
    Maybe the owner will step in and save the day but absent that, its a terrible day for him.
