Jim Riggleman<\/span> had his introductory press conference as interim manager of the Washington Nationals and Ted Lerner<\/span> and his family were not there (I think<\/span>) — another crisis in NatsTown!<\/p>\n

Riggleman said that Manny Acta<\/span> was doing the right things, that he’s a softie (great!) and he was glad Washington got a team to replace the Senators who grew up following in his native Rockville.<\/p>\n

Nats soak up blame for firing<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
Players like Adam Dunn and Jason Bergmann are blaming themselves for Acta’s firing. Nick Johnson though, the last holdover from Montreal, was quoted as a saying “I mean, something had to happen. We’re getting our [butts] kicked every night.”<\/p>\n

THOMAS BOSWELL – <\/span>Home Management<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Boswell likes that Riggleman is as old as he is and went to Senators games at Griffith Stadium.<\/p>\n

Right now, as far as I can determine, the only man now wearing a major league uniform — in any capacity, manager or coach — who grew up in the Washington area, attended games here as far back as Griffith Stadium and spent his childhood and youth loving the Senators is Jim Riggleman. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Okay, that’s a nice human interest story.<\/p>\n
