Ex-Nationals manager Jim Riggleman wants back in

It's one thing to complain about not having a contract for the next season...

But it's something entirely different to Walk Away from a team mid-season.

Good Luck getting back into where you were with that behind you.

More players and coachs should do it. If the GM can't do the real job and sign contracts then that should cause them some pain.

I imagine those long bus rides, cheaper hotels, and less money would get anybody thinking if they had experience the good life of a MLB manager.

Riggleman was a joke as a Major League Manager. I actually feel bad for the Double A team that is undoubtedly being influenced by a **** as commander. Fire his sulking, losing, pandering, ineffective **** We need true leaders leading our future big league studs.

Disagree...

GM was taking a wait & see approach.

As far as Jim goes - he's not the first Manager to be working on the last year of his contract... but he is one of the very few to walk out mid-season.

I like it.

Riggleman screwed up. He walked out on his team, his players. Who would want him?

guess he would likely replace the current reds manager should he do that???

the reds are about to be managerless with baker in the illness shelf nothing good can be expected remember father times never forgets and never forgives,,,,

the colorado rockies should get a new manager,
the pitsburg pirates should get a new manager,
the astros should get a new manager,
the marlins should replace their current manager with the owner in the front seat,
the twins should clean their house and a new manager should be in their plans,,

The Reds have plenty of options If Baker does retire. Riggleman is not one of them. Riggleman might have to accept a coaching position with a MLB team and earn a manager spot in a few years

Wiseup: Colorado will need a new manager.Tracey Resigned Sun 10/7. I guess he rsigned before he was fired.

actually Riggleman did the nationals a favor. He got out of the way so nats could hire a real manager in Davey Johnson.

There have been a lot of Manager jobs availible since Riggleman walked away... Have't heard his name mentioned for any of them... Hope Rigglemans Resume is up-to-date since there is a rumore in the niegborhood that there is going to be a Full-Time Manager opening at the local KFC.

And after this first big win, who needs him??

this guy would be perfect for Colorado. Lets not forget the issue for Riggleman and the Senators, he did a good job there and they didn't want to give him a contract.
