Nats Ownership Encouraging Investigation Of Bowden<\/b><\/a> – Nationals Journal, The Post<\/i>
Tick, tock, tick, tock:<\/p>\n

But behind the scenes, according to sources, some within the team’s ownership group — which includes Managing Principal Owner Theodore N. Lerner, seven principal owners and nine founding partners — are eager to cut ties with the general manager they inherited almost three years ago, and see the investigation as a way of facilitating Bowden’s exit. The Nationals, one source said, are encouraging the investigation to return an answer on Bowden so the parties can “go on their merry way.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stan Kasten<\/span> also released a statement seems pretty damning to one Jim Bowden<\/span>:<\/p>\n

Listen, I support everyone who works for the Washington Nationals all the time, period. But we’re not going to talk about things that are going on away from here that I have no control or involvement in. I’ve told you, I am gonna allow the process to play out. We’ll allow the chips to fall where they may, and we’re going to look at things honestly and deal with them as is appropriate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are we finally coming to the end of the Jim Bowden error\/era in D.C.<\/p>\n

THOMAS BOSWELL<\/b> – Definitive Moment Awaits<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Boswell thinks the Nats are trying to find a way to get rid of Bowden and appear to be fair. I say, who cares? Bowden should have been fired years ago any way.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Nationals sit by the phone, paralyzed, frustrated, sometimes angry, waiting month after month, ever since Bowden was first interviewed by the feds last summer. Now in his fifth year of workaholic labor for the Nats, Bowden, regardless of his results, deserves far better than a guilt-by-association firing that could effectively end his baseball career. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bowden’s career should be over because he isn’t any good at what he does.<\/p>\n
