DMV: Manager Acta, You Are Forgiven

By Jamie Mottram | July 13, 2009

DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links.

One month after Rosenthal called it (still h8 u, Ken!), Nats fire Manny Acta, which is w’happens after a fail-filled 26-61 first half. [WaPo]

“Manny’s the victim of four years of horrendous player development and roster management … still, they needed to wipe the slate clean and start over.” [FJB]

Ex-Cubs/Pads/M’s skipper Jim Riggleman is the new boss. [Chatter]

Fittingly, Manny’s final loss features a balk on an intentional walk. [WaPo]

The move comes a day after exposing Frank Robinson’s dismissal. [Wise]

D.C. regains standing as “America’s coaching graveyard”. [D.C. Sports Bog]

The Nats’ first-half record has gotten worse each year. [Federal Baseball]

Another Nats fail, this time at the Elton John-Billy Joel concert. [Bog]

Stealth ROY candidate Brad Bergesen picks up another win. [Camden Chat]

Top prospect Chris Tillman is coming soon to Baltimore. [Roto Arcade]

Chris Cooley fills in for Peter King, calls out Donovan McNabb. [MMQB]

Signing Brendan Morrison gives Caps goal-scoring at center. [Japers’ Rink]

No way the Caps logo is the 10th-worst in all of sports. [Rock the Red]

In the end, “Epic Vale” is JaVale McGee’s proper nickname. [Bullets Forever]

Terps forward Jin Soo Kim is now Jin Soo Choi. [Terrapins Insider]

Kevin Kaduk is in St. Louis for the MLB All-Star festivities. [Big League Stew]

Today: Home Run Derby (8 p.m.)
