I believe this headline should read: Riggleman returns to managing AAA team decades after first signing-on with the Cubs.

I was hoping this jackass would be blackballed for at least ten years.

Riggleman and Bobby Valentine probably did a lot of commiserating together in Beltway watering holes after walking away from gigs with the Nats and the Orioles at exactly the wrong time. Then again, who’s to say it would have worked out as well as it did with Riggleman in Washington and Valentine in Baltimore? Probably it wouldn’t have, but still, it’s got to sting knowing you had a golden opportunity as a manager and didn’t take it.

Yep–that division title and the best record baseball thing really sucked.

You must love managing if your willing to manage AA and AAA after being in the bigs for so long. The transition can’t be easy.

Riggleman’s made it nearly all the way back. At Triple-A, Virgil drops out and Beatrice takes over to guide him the rest of the way back to the show.

I guess we Nats fans should thank Riggleman for shooting himself in the foot so that Davey Johnson could get a head start on managing the ball club.

A story about Riggleman that is actually true! Oh my! Contrary to stories by Olney and his ilk, the Jays never interviewed him.
