“They’re Just Making Bowden Endure As Much Pain As Possible”<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Nats sources say GM’s job in jeopardy<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
It sure looks like Jim Bowden<\/b> is getting his comeupance for years of Reds cronyism, poor personal decisions, annoying (and occasionally dangerous<\/b><\/a>) personal behavior, questionable wadrobe and reckless roster moves. There are some reports that the only reason Bowden has not been let go is because of his friendship with Mark Lerner<\/b>. The irony is of course that the friendship is leaving Bowden twisting in the wind in a public spectacle. Be a good friend Mark and let the guy go before even the biggest sharks, vultures and just plain haters<\/i> in the Natmosphere feel sorry for him. Your dad, Ted, apparently wanted him out at the end of last season!<\/p>\n
