Nationals Pull out of DR
The Washington Nationals scandal keeps on giving. Washington officially fired Jose Rijo, and they are closing down their baseball academy in the Dominican Republic.
To paraphrase Chevy Chase, a frustrated DR could not be reached for comment.
We're still waiting for Bowden's head to roll.

Could this team be more of a disaster? And I thought they were horrible when I was growing up in DC in the 50's and 60's. And with this roster 100 losses again this season is a distinct possiblity.
You know, I bet that this type of situation is not limited to the Nationals. Add this to the number of DR players, not just A-Rod, who've gotten OTC PEDs (see the NY Daily News) and one has to wonder at the shadiness of what's going on down in the DR.
I can't really fault too much young players whose only real chance of escaping third world poverty is by becoming a MLB player. But those who take advantage of people in such a situation, that does bother me.
