So the Nationals are considering Dusty Baker to replace Matt Williams.  There was a time that Mike Rizzo was considered a really talented GM.  Surely he can do better than Dusty for that talented team.

It's Dusty and Cal Ripken for the Nats job so far?

Yeah, he should be doing a lot better than that.

The Marlins gave Larry Bowa a second interview.  I can't believe some team won't give Rick Renteria a second chance.

Nah, they are longshots.

Favorites are Ron Wotus and Bud Black.

Blue Jays ban beer cans in upper deck after ALDS ruckus

The Blue Jays reserved the right to cut off beer sales after the fifth inning if there are any problems.

Dodgers and Mattingly part ways in mutual agreement

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=mlb&id=13945880


Given the Dodger's payroll, Mattingly had to feel enormous pressure to do more than win the NL West.   That showed in every camera shot I saw of him this year.  He always appeared tired and frustrated and just wasn't having any fun.  My guess is that finally got to him.   And who knows how he really got along with players like Andre Ethier?
