SEEN AND HEARD
VIERA, Fla. -- To put it bluntly, Jim Bowden loves being the center of attention. The Nationals' interim general manager has done TV work in the past and would like to again some day. He currently is writing a weekly column for the local paper.
He also has an interesting sense of style. Few days have passed this spring in which Bowden doesn't stroll around the practice fields in a track suit, greeting people with phrases like "What up, dog?" Nothing has quite come close to the powder blue "Sean Jean" outfit he broke out at the winter meetings in December, but Nationals players are taking notice of Bowden's unique way.
And what nickname have they come up with for their happenin' GM? Eminem, that other noted master of style. ...
How close are some of the players? Maybe a little too close, considering the epidemic of pneumonia and bronchitis that has spread through the clubhouse in the last week. Joey Eischen has missed several days of workouts, while others have played through it.
The bug isn't limited to players. A reporter for The Washington Times became ill and spent Wednesday night curled up in a ball on his hotel bed in agony. However, he hasn't missed a day of work.
THE BUZZ
Down " Day 8 of workouts
