NBC 4 in Washington D.C. is reporting the Don Mattingly, bench coach for the L.A. Dodgers, has decided not to interview for the vacant Nationals head coaching spot.

Honestly I'm not surprised. When I first heard that Mattingly was a candidate for the job I thought it was too good to be true.

However, as a Nats fan I can't help but feel a little offended that Mattingly won't even take the interview. 

I mean, I know this team is bad but with the right coaching they have enough young players to be competitive in the next few years.

Oh well. I guess there are plenty of fish in the sea.
