Bad Bowden
Marty Brennaman doesn't mince any words in his opinion of Jim Bowden:
Brenneman -- who covered the Reds during Bowden's rocky tenure as general manager in Cincinnati -- suggested to son Tom Brennaman in a recent broadcast commentary for WLW Radio that a history of arguably dubious dealings by Bowden indicates something may be amiss.
"That guy has been such a bad guy for such a long time that what goes around, comes around," said Brennaman, who has a reputation for outspokenness if not being altogether blunt.
The Bowden death watch continues. Who would Washington fans like to see as GM? Paul DePodesta? One of the Red Sox or Indians assistants?

As a Nationals fan, I can say I would like to see a GM who is interested in players who have not played for the Cincinnati Reds. In his tenure with the Nats, Bowden has showed an aptitude for one thing only - signing Reds players. It is probably clear to any baseball observer that this is not an ideal approach.
Sorry, I think I should have typed shown an aptitude.
