June 23, 201114 yr He was a walking deadman anyways and he knew it. He probably figures what is the point if they arent planning on keeping me anyways

June 23, 201114 yr QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) What an idiotic move by the nats he forced their hand. If they don't feel he's the guy the org wants handling Strausburg coming back next year and the eventual debut of Harper then it was the right move by the org.

Furthermore, Riggleman signed a contract and just walked away from it. That's bulls***.
June 23, 201114 yr I kinda see Riggleman's side. Rizzo is tough to deal with, so he's either getting paid for 1.5 years now, or he's starting The Summer of Riggs.

June 24, 201114 yr Riggs wanted to have a discussion and Rizzo said there is nothing to discuss. He was the lowest paid manager in baseball. Makes me think Rizzo is a little difficult to work with.

Yeah, Riggleman just had his last job. He signed the f***ing contract, Rizzo was under no obligation to extend and or/pick up an option in mid-June.

Makes me think Rizzo is a little difficult to work with. Yeah, how convenient that Riggleman demands this meeting at 38-37 instead of 12 days ago when they were 27-36.

Ihe was Boers and bernstein at 1:30 I believe he ended up having to be rescheduled due to "phone problems" He and his agent rolled the dice and lost, but I'm sure they were 100% aware of this potential outcome.
