Nationals Extend Bowden’s Contract<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
GM Jim Bowden<\/b> signed a contract extension that will keep him in Washington through the offseason. He signed utility infielder Damian Jackson and 2B Bernie Castro<\/b><\/a> (AP\/WJLA<\/i>).<\/p>\n

Bowden’s signing probably means Frank Robinson’s<\/b> tenure is the dugout is over. Bowden is shooting for Thanksgiving to make that decision, but ultimately, it probably will not be made until the team has an owner and there is no telling which Thanksgiving we will be celebrating when that happens.<\/p>\n

More from The Wash. Times<\/i>: Nats extend Bowden’s contract<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

THOMAS BOSWELL<\/b> – White Sox, Astros Give Nats Hope<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
Boz finds hope in the fact that the two pennant winners have similar revenue and attendance to the Nationals and provide a model of how the Nats can win, rather than just throwing money at players to build a roster.<\/p>\n
Cropp vows ballpark on Anacostia<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
At a citizen forum hosted by D.C. Council Chairman Linda W. Cropp<\/b> said the 1\/2 Street ballpark site is within budget and “there will be no motion — legitimate motion — to move it to another site.” We shall see.<\/p>\n

Also, Franklin Haney<\/b>, a bidder for the Nats again stated that the owner should pay for cost overruns which means there is no way that MLB will sell him the team.<\/p>\n
