Unhappy
with the way the team has performed so far this season, Washington
Nationals management fired all their players today in an unprecedented
move. They have brought up some kids from double A ball to serve as
interim players until they can find suitable replacements.
"Well, we've struggled to a 16-45 record, which is just awful," said GM
Frank Geary. "But head coach Manny Acta is one of the best out there,
this team just isn't getting the full management potential out of him.
So, we just felt it was time to make a change. We're going to eat their
salaries and just move in a different direction."
"We like what
they do up in Boston," continued Geary. "We're going to see if we can
maybe sign that team to replace them down here. We need a big name team
to come in and get the fanbase excited, hopefully some new players can
motivate this coaching staff better."

Wouldn't it be great if it really worked that way.....
I say you pay them 5 thousand a game if they win and 1 thousand if they lose....maybe they would try harder, but I doubt it....
