The world's most retarded family, reunited.

Earlier this week when I read that the Washington Nationals had signed former major leaguer Bret Boone, I almost cried. When things like this happen to the Washington Nationals is reminds me of how happy I am that General Manager Jim Bowden, is no longer with the Reds. Seriously, half of the players that have been signed by Washington since Bowden's arrival have been ex-Reds that he always thought were going to be good, and never were. None more evident than the horrific, Wily Mo Pena. Now on to the Brett Boone signing. This signing now reunites baseball's most retarded family, the Boones. With Bob "Baboon" Boone working as a special assistant in the front office and Aaron Boone already with the Nationals, the three are together again... The worst part is that Bret Boone has not been relevant since the new Steroid testing came into place... How does Bret go from hitting 7 homeruns in 1997 to hitting 24 in 98, the year that Jose Canseco alledges steroids became very popular...Then after putting on an extreme amount of muscle Bret follows that year up with more impressive numbers including a 2001 season of 37 HRs...Then mysteriously when the new steroid-testing program was instituted in 2005, Bret Boone hits 7 homeruns and disappears from the game of baseball. Now Bowden is giving a 39 year old has been a chance after not playing baseball for 2 years...I seriously question how much longer Bowden is going to have a job. I realize he only offered him a minor league deal, but it is still making his organization look even more like a joke, and that is hard to do. I knew when Bob Boone once sat Adam Dunn the day after he hit 2 homeruns in Florida, because he wanted to rest him, that he was an idiot. And he did the same to Jr. Griffey that same year...but these kind of deals are horrific. It is almost as if when the Reds fired both Jim Bowden and Bob Boone in 2003 they decided to make a pact and give everyone the Reds had cut or traded a chance...including each other, after all it was Bowden who hired Bob Boone as the advisor.... Outside of Jose Rijo and Barry Larkin, I wouldn't mind seeing the team accidentally be in RFK stadium when it gets imploded for a new stadium being built. But then again, without the NAtionals where will current Red rejects go after their stop in Cincinnati...poor todd coffey, mike stanon, david ross, and even probably Adam Dunn would eventually be unemployed...and I'd hate to see that
