" I'm Bryan Webber on the top baseball that would please be joined by foxsports.com. Senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal can Washington manager Manny -- future with the team is very much in doubt. What are the nationals dealing."

" That if you really good question. Last Saturday on -- and will be on Fox Broadcast I reported that the nationals had decided to fire -- active and replaced him with humorous element. That it could happen Monday or could happen Friday. Well it took the nationals three days to deny that report but eventually they're acting GM Mike Rizzo said there is no basis to it. Well if that is indeed the case if my report was wrong. In the national should simply say hey man active as a manager for the rest of the season. Nothing is going to change materially with this team next week the next month the next several months either he's in or he's out. Now if my report was right and I still believe it was right in the national should fire him as soon as possible. And stopped dangling me any act. What's going on right now is unfair. Again you commit to him or you don't. The Phillies played outfield well Bonnie is on the DL because of strained groin how will this change their line. Clearly it takes about a guy who is second in the National League in homers RBIs and oh yes one of the great stories of the first half and clearly to blow. At the same time the Phillies are very good offensive team even with -- it. It promoted John mayberry AAA. Might remember him at the home run against Indy and in his Major League debut. He'll play against lefties we'll probably go with some combination of Matt Stairs and -- up against Brady's. We'll switch worth over to left field in many cases and play one of those other guys in right. Will they survive without. Yes the greater question with the Phillies is still pitching. They're hoping Brad Lidge to close who'll be back next week. They're still looking for another starting pitcher ideally a number -- to slot behind Cole Hamels. Right now that animal it's hard to find violently ample games separate the first and last place teams NL central -- think going to play out. I have no earthly idea who is going to win this division. The Cubs are a team that has been an extreme disappoint and so -- They have not hit it anywhere near their expectations. Already fired their hitting coach in the -- LA is about the Chicago line. At some point I expect -- to revive their pitching has been very good. As you'll see them as a very affordable while in this division. The Cardinals are also pretty going to address third base and possibly shortstop maybe get another bat another position. And their pitching behind Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright is going to need to hold up. But I still like the Cardinals they always compete really well under Tony La Russa. And there are the reports. That the club potent offensive club many pitching questions both in the rotation and in the bullpen. And finally I think the reds have more of a long shot that any of those three clubs but if that is -- bottle and it went off the back. They have the pitching to at least now the threat. So what basically saying here it's a toss up. In a lot -- and which teams make the best move the deadline. Okay -- always we appreciate your -- fort Kent -- and Bob Bryan Webber will."
