Ozzie is not the manager you want for a team in the Nats’ state of development. You need Ozzie to manage

– a veteran, contending team, in hopes of lightning striking (see 2005 White Sox), or
– to generate excitement where none exists.

The Fish qualify in the second category.

If the Buddha smiles upon Macondo, Porter is ours. (Hands clasped in gesture of divine supplication.)

Wouldn’t mind seeing Rizzo promote him.
