While I agree that the disappointing four months we&#8217;ve seen so far don&#8217;t matter long-term, I&#8217;m feel a little uneasy. Also, his former manager, Charlie Manuel is quoted extensively, seeming to suggest not to worry. I&#8217;ll admit I&#8217;m a little skeptical of ol&#8217; Cholly though. He plays the aw shucks demeanor about the Nats from time to time, but I can&#8217;t help but feel he&#8217;s being disingenuous.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.natsenquirer.com\/2011\/08\/nationals-draft-signing-deadline-with-scott-boras-anthony-rendon.html\">Scott Boras probably wants to remind us and the Nats that the deadline to sign 2011 draft picks is tonight<\/a> (<en>The Nats Enquirer<\/em>) and I think all the the major ones will sign. Forgive me if I don&#8217;t stay up and wait.<\/p>\n<p>I listened to Friday&#8217;s game on MLB Audio and thought Charlie Slowes did well as the single-combat warrior with Dave Jageler filling in on MASN. I didn&#8217;t see or listen to any of Saturday&#8217;s game, so I cannot comment on Slowes and Todd Kalas or on Jageler&#8217;s TV performance. If they break apart the Slowes-Jageler pairing, I&#8217;ll be disappointed, but understand.<\/p>\n<p>Radio-TV simulcast anyone?<\/p>\n<p>Oh look, <a href=\"http:\/\/live.washingtonpost.com\/ask-boswell-0815.html\">Thomas Boswell is back chatting<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to yesterday&#8217;s rainout, the Washington Nationals split a series with the Philadelphia Phillies.
