Not even Mark Lerner can save him now.

 

"We're getting pressure from the Nationals. They want to find out, one way or the other, so they can go on their merry way." (Unnamed MLB Source, via Tom Boswell/Washington Post, 2/24/2009)

The Jim Bowden Axe Watch continues. 

Seems to be a single, inevitable conclusion coming, right?

Just in case, Nationals Farm Authority lines up some worthy GM candidates.

Meanwhile, from Nationals Journal last night:

But behind the scenes, according to sources, some within the team's ownership group -- which includes Managing Principal Owner Theodore N. Lerner, seven principal owners and nine founding partners -- are eager to cut ties with the general manager they inherited almost three years ago, and see the investigation as a way of facilitating Bowden's exit.

Boz weighs in, saying the Nats want to both be fair and be perceived as fair; Chris Needham labels Jim "Dead Man Segwaying".

Even if Jimbo survives the Fed rap, he's a goner this time, right?
