Nats Hire New Color Commentator

2009_0127_nats.jpgThe Washington Nationals made a move in the offseason -- in their broadcast booth. MASN announced that Don Sutton, who had been with the network for two years, has asked to be released for "personal reasons" -- if by personal reasons he means taking a new job with the Atlanta Braves radio team. Sutton's replacement is Rob Dibble, former All-Star pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. Dibble was one of the Reds' bullpen "Nasty Boys" when the team won the 1990 World Series, and earned a reputation as a hot head, once taking himself out of a game and ripping his jersey off after allowing a Bobby Bonilla homer. Since his retirement in 1996, he has worked for ESPN as a baseball analyst, as a host of The Best Damn Sports Show Period and blogger for Fox, and on XM Radio. Photo by afagen

Don Sutton – Going back where he rightfully belongs.

I'm sure the Bravos gave MASN a little compensation for Sutton's "personal reasons".

He's working on a way to bring Marge Schott over. God willing, they'll make it happen, one way or another.
