Federal Baseball has an explanation of a tweet from Jim Bowden on the Nationals' manager search:
Nats MGR search includes:Mattingly,Duncan,Yost,Riggleman & BValen."
I would have really liked to see Mattingly on the Astros' managerial list - the former first baseman would have scared the piss out of Berkman.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
