In the continuing drama that is the world of the Washington Nationals and the Jim Riggleman resignation, Riggleman blasted out some tasty quotables to reporters that Washington Times Nathan Fenno picked up on and preserved on Twitter. First he busted out with some crafty metaphors to color up his displeasure at GM Mike Rizzo for taking his sweet time with a possible extension for the now exiled manager:

Poor, Riggleman. He was the manager of a Major League Baseball team. Oh, by the way, the Nationals won today.
