JD saved Wash?

DMN:

On the baseball side, Ryan said he’s learned some patience. The recovery after the early-season crisis that almost led to the firing of manager Ron Washington and much of the staff has reinforced that need. At general manager Jon Daniels’ behest, Ryan and Hicks gave the club some time to recover. Since April 25, the Rangers rank fourth in the majors in winning percentage.

by shroomer on Jul 21, 2008 9:11 PM CDT reply actions  

I was going to make...

...a “Nolan bringing some Texas high heat” post, but I don’t have it in me.

I’m curious who else besides Washington would have been gone.
