hmmmmm

Wow...

Cheers to Washington and all the donations they've made to our success during his tenure.

Wow! Hope his "off-the-field personal matter" is not his own personal problem. Hope whatever works out.

JD says that they intended for Ron Washington to return in 2015. This is not drug-related, but has to do with an off-the-field issue. They've known about the issue and been talking with Wash for a few weeks about this, and he informed them of his decision this morning.

JD is being described as emotional...Calvin Watkins says he seems "devastated," and Ben Rogers says it seems like JD has been crying.

That being said, the consensus seems to be that there's a lot of talking, but not much being said substantively. We still don't know what is going on with Ron Washington that led him to do this, other than it is off-field and not drug or substance related.

Well Bo Porter needs a new gig

Anyone want to bet that it really is substance related in the end? Deny, deny, deny.

Agreed.

Oh, you're such a cynic.

I agree.

He could possibly have cancer or some other life changing illness.

I wouldn't jump to "drugs" just yet but it's certainly a possibility.

Although the rangers would look like big time a-holes for saying it's not drugs if the truth comes out. Like they were covering for him again.

Whatever the problem, I wish the best for Wash. Good manager. I always enjoyed watching him do his little foot racing thing in the dugout. Cracked (no pun intended) me up every time.

That's how baseball go.

That's how life go.
