	Robinson Likely to Return
		General Manager Jim Bowden, whose contract was extended through April, initially said he wanted to wait for a new owner to be named before deciding whether to bring back Robinson.
		But with baseball haggling with the District Council on a stadium lease, delaying a decision on a new owner, Tavares is pushing Bowden to decide on Robinson's fate before baseball's winter meetings begin Monday in Dallas.
		Complicating matters is that Bowden remains a candidate for the general manager's job in Boston.

		Bowden's signal for "leg byes", usually indicated by rasing one knee and tapping it, has been likened to the action of a human pogo-stick, while the signal for "byes", traditionally shown by raising an open palm, is similar to the movements of a window washer.
		He foresaw the possibilities of the bicycle, but ever since his hill trips in France he had in mind the desirability of a variable gear on the machine to help cope with gradients if cycling were to become a popular pastime and not simply the plaything of health and physical fitness addicts.
		Bowden took full advantage of this and on his cycling business visits around the country he would study beforehand gradients along each route and fit the most generally suitable chainring.

		Bowden was on the phone talking trades with other general managers Tuesday morning, even before the official announcement of his hiring as the interim GM of the Washington-bound Expos.
		Bowden doesn't know his budget yet, but he expects it to be considerably larger than it was in Montreal, where low local revenues kept the team from paying top-dollar salaries.
		Bowden was the youngest general manager in major league history when he took the position with the Reds in 1992 at age 31.

		For example, he realized that the thin layer of water between a ski or an ice skate and the snow or ice is produced not by pressure due to the weight on them but by friction-induced heat caused by irregularities in the sliding surfaces.
		Bowden was born in Hobart, Tasmania, and studied at the University of Tasmania.
		Bowden began to publish papers on friction 1931, and demonstrated that sliding produces friction over only a small fraction of the total area of the surface, but can produce exceedingly high temperatures and even induce melting in hot spots.

		In fact, Frank is only the second player from the 1997 draft to make the majors, behind Chicago White Sox pitcher Jim Parque, who was chosen as a "sandwich" pick between the first and second rounds.
		Frank was shocked when General Manager Jim Bowden pulled him into an office at Indianapolis' Victory Field and told him of the promotion Thursday night.
		Bowden said he runs down balls well, gets a good jump on fly balls and can have an average arm if he works out a hitch in his throwing motion.

		Bowden also was the first to realize that outfielder Ryan Church would be star in the big leagues.
		Bowden hopes that he has found a future start in third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who was drafted by the Nationals in the first round in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft.
		Bowden: It was a great experience because there were a lot of people who did a lot of special things for me. It touched me. It didn't matter if it was an usher or a security guard or the people who do the food and beverages.

	Nationals Inquirer: Criticism-by-classification
		Now, I'm willing to castigate Jim Bowden for acting the wastrel with what used to be a bounty of back-end-of-the-rotation types, but let's be honest: he was a co-conspirator, not the lone gunman.
		It is good to have principles, but it is quite clear Frank Robinson is suited (at this stage of his managing career) to head veteran teams.
		Frank Robinson, even if we were to acknowledge his strengths, does not represent the appropriate classficiation of manager to serve as the skipper into the future.

	Distinguished Senators: September 2005
		Frank's quick hook has worked in the past, but the bullpen was worn out and proceeded to surrender a further nine runs, none of which merited sponsorship.
		Frank decided it would be best for the young fellow to make his first major league start at a difficult position that he doesn't play.
		To recap: Jim Bowden's two biggest additions to the team, players with a combined 4 years and $15 million left on their contracts, have been replaced by no-hit journeyman shortstop and a 20-year-old with fewer than 70 professional games under his belt.

		The evidence further showed that none of the taxpayers for whom the forms were prepared and filed operated any trust accounts and that all of the figures on the 1041 Forms were fabricated.

		BOWDEN and PEELE also talked to the taxpayers about the "Washitaw Nation," a fictional place populated almost entirely by separatist tax protesters who have their own birth certificates, driver's licenses, and license plates.
