Mark, Nats are on pace to lose 105 games and rising. Acta plans to do nothing different in approach or use of his personnel. What he is doing is completely ineffective. There is no way the Nats should be this awful. Zim is not hurt, Kearns is not hurt, Belliard is not hurt, Milledge is not hurt, and starting pitching is not hurt. My question is this, who should be held accountable? What changes need to be made? When should these chances be made? OR do you Mark believe that Nats do nothing, just more of the same, teach and preach approach and hope for the best? If you care to hear what I would do, here are my moves up till Oct 1. 1. August 19th – Fire Jim Bowden, Jose Rijo, Barry Larkin and appoint Rizo interim GM. 2. August 19 – Fire Lenny Harris and Tim Tolman and replace with the best talent from Farm system on a interim basis thus rewarding someone who has done a good job this year. 3. September 1 – Call up young arms and bats and use them every day. 4. September 1 – Tell Acta he has one month to save his job. Tell him you want to see a team that hustles everywhere all the time. I mean Pete Rose hustle. I mean sprinting to their positions at the start of the game and between each inning. Make a statement to the fans those who will follow in future years. 5. End of season – Fire rest of coaching staff save Randy S. C. and Acta only if he is able light a fire under the young and hungry players that you gave on Sept 1.
