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.
