International directory enquiries write my literature essay - Davey Johnsonรยขรยรยs last season as a manager is starting to end badly. Who wouldรยขรยรยve ever believed his Washington Nationals, heavily favored to win the National League East, would be four games under .500 entering Saturdayรยขรยรยs play? Even in their best win of the year, Thursday on Bryce Harperรยขรยรยs walk-off homer against the Pirates, Johnson couldnรยขรยรยt fully celebrate as heรยขรยรยd incurred his first ejection of the season. And now there are reports of a divided clubhouse and friction between him and GM Mike Rizzo over the firing of hitting coach Rick Eckstein, who was Daveyรยขรยรยs guy. The Nationals rank 28th in the majors in runs and arenรยขรยรยt likely to have a single player with 100 RBI. Their principal set-up man, Drew Storen, has five blown saves with a 5.40 ERA and is likely headed to the minors, and theyรยขรยรยre holding their breath to see whatรยขรยรยs in store for No. 3 starter Gio Gonzalez in the Biogenesis investigation. Worst of all, however, is the effect all this is having on the Papa Johnรยขรยรยs Pizza 50% off deal, in which the pizza company is offering half price on all their pizzas in games in which the Nationals win and score seven or more runs. So far, the Nats have qualified only 17 times, a decrease of 24% from last year.
