Acta is Toast
The Nationals have fired manager Manny Acta according to The Washington Post. This comes almost a month after rumors had surfaced on a Fox broadcast that he was on his way out. The Nationals crawl into the all-star break at 26-61, the worst record in the Major Leagues and is 158-252 overall as manager. No replacement has been named of yet, stay turned to NLEC for more info.
Update: The Nationals have put Jim Riggleman in place of Acta for now. For a great piece on Riggleman, check out CenterfieldGate.
