Obviously, this person is either loved or hated. But really, this much hatred exists? It's almost comical that people would spend this much time of their life on anyones Wikopedia. As if anyone cares. Both sides. Sad really.

This article is an absolute disaster. It's got a humongous anti-Bowden bias, so, for example, I learned about his 9/11 comment but not such an important fact as when he was even hired by the Nationals. When was he hired?! What a crappy entry. 64.91.220.56 (talk) 06:19, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We now have the opposite problem. This article has been whitewashed (probably by corporate entity in light of new position).ShelbyBell (talk) 09:18, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Under his GM section, it lists the players he acquired in the first paragraph, then lists several of the same players again in the third paragraph. I don't believe he traded for Soriano or Guillen twice. I also don't think you can draft Ryan Zimmerman twice. Article is in desperate need of a clean up.

Unsourced Controversy[edit]

There are a number of items under the controversy section without any sourcing. Unless sourcing is found they should be removed. Arzel (talk) 01:32, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
