Riggs Linkage

It's the morning after. And what we have on our hands is a classic case of he said/she said between our GM and our former-Manager. Personally, I am still trying to digest all the information out there as it comes out before I throw out more than my two cents. So, for now I'll post some of the best and most thought-provoking words from your National Media and blogs; where the consensus is that both players are at fault in some way or another. Here is your Riggs Linkage:

There are also a ton of Nats-specific Blogs that I chose not to link here, needless to say that their coverage is also excellent and must-read. You can find links to several of our favorites over on the right-hand side of the screen.

There is definitely not a shortage of words on this subject - stayed tuned to Capitol Baseball for all the latest!
