question:
Here is your lifeline  Washington Nationals. We have gone from theory to reality in 24 hours.  Joe Girardi  no longer manages the New York Yankees. There is one potential managerial candidate who represents an obvious upgrade from Dusty Baker  both in the near term and long range.  He  is  Joseph Elliott Girardi .
Go get  him .
If the Nationals â and by âthe Nationalsâ here  we are speaking of the Lerner family  which owns the team â even are going to consider  Girardi   they have to go in with two things wide open: their eyes and their wallet.
Baker  whom they didnât invite back  felt  he  was woefully underpaid at $2 million annually  and the main reason  he  is no longer here anymore is because  his  contract was only for two years. Those two years expired  the Lerners had no further financial commitment  there was some ham-handedness in both public relations and game management in the division series against the Cubs  and so  he âs gone.
[ Girardi  made sense for the Nats even before the Yankees let  him  go]
 Girardi  isnât coming here for any two years and $4 million.  His  last contract with the Yankees  the one that expired following this year  was for twice that â four years and $16 million. Thereâs your starting point. If you want  him   Mr. Lerner  be prepared to value the position of manager more than you have at any point in the past. Take a number youâre comfortable with â and triple it.
Joe Maddon hadnât won a World Series when he agreed to a five-year deal worth a reported $25 million. Could  Girardi  ask for such a sum? Sure.
We donât yet know that  Girardi  will require that or that the Nationals will even inquire about  Girardi âs needs. But logic tells you General Manager Mike Rizzo  who did not return a message Thursday  has to reach out. Follow that logic further  and Rizzo has the toughest sell job of  his  career to  his  own bosses.
If Rizzo calls Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman and gets a favorable report on  Girardi  â and given their long run together  why wouldnât  he ? â and the rest of Rizzoâs reporting reveals no red flags  then  he  must present a case to ownership that what they have before them is an opportunity. Forget the money it will cost. Consider it found money.
 Girardi âs side is important in this  too. On Thursday  in the hours after the Yankees announced they would not bring  him  back  a person close to the (now former) manager said the situation was too âfresh â and we couldnât yet analyze whether  Girardi  would want to move on to the Nationals â or anywhere else â immediately.
But we do know a bit more about  Girardi âs state of mind than we did at the end of the American League Championship Series  when  he  said  he  would have to consult with  his  family â  his  wife and three children live in South Florida â before deciding whether  he  could be all-in as a manager again.
On Thursday   Girardi  issued a statement that thanked just about everybody in the Yankee organization. But it opened with this: âWith a heavy heart  I come to you because the Yankees have decided not to bring me back.â
Sounds like someone who was ready to reload for another run.  He  just needed to be asked.
One reasonable question  Girardi  would have â and one that  once a manager is in place  could hang over the entire 2018 season â is: Who would I be working for? Not next year but down the line. Rizzoâs contract runs only through 2018. He and his front office built the team that won four division titles in six years and is poised to contend again. If he convinces  Girardi  to come here and convinces the Lerners to pay for him  wouldnât another extension be in line for the general manager?
A final piece: At 53   Girardi  is too young to really be into evaluating  his  âlegacy.â But here is a list of managers who have won World Series titles with two franchises: Sparky Anderson  who did it in Cincinnati and Detroit  and Tony La Russa  who did it in Oakland and St. Louis. Short list. Everyone on it is in the Hall of Fame.
If  Girardi  wins another World Series   he  joins that group. Could  he  do it in Washington? The Nationals have stated thatâs the only goal that matters. A manager who has done it is now available.
answer:
Joe Girardi


question:
Ever since early 2016 , when the Republican Party began to fussily resettle itself behind Donald Trump , Mitt Romney has been an intermittent oppositional figure , distinct from his party in both point of view and style . 
The conservative movement has grown smirking , clannish , quarrelsome ; Romney has been formal , chiding , and pained . 
After Trump won the election , that November , Romney met with Trump in the hope of securing for himself the position of Secretary of State . 
Yet this summer , after a white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville turned deadly , Romney professed deeper anxieties . 
For half a century , Romney and his family have existed close to the center of the Republican Party . 
Now -- just six years removed from being his party 's Presidential nominee , but with no distinct Romneyist camp in Washington and no obvious constituency to summon -- it is n't obvious that Romney fits in at all . 
Last week , the Utah senator Orrin Hatch announced that he would be retiring at the end of his term this year , and immediately Romney 's allies suggested that he would run for the seat ; the common wisdom was that his election would be all but assured . 
-LRB- Romney , a man of many residences , built his political career in Massachusetts , but he went to college in Utah , and helped to save the Salt Lake City Olympics from ruin in 2002 ; he is the most recognizable Mormon in the world , and he would be running in a state whose Republican Party is defined by its relationship to the L.D.S. Church . -RRB- 
Romney 's candidacy is still unannounced , and its most important position -- what line the candidate takes on the President -- is not yet obvious . 
"This thing is still developing ," one of Romney 's longtime advisers told me last week . 
But already the most romantic vision of Romney -- that he might arrive in Washington as the de-facto leader of an anti-Trump faction -- seems unlikely . 
"I 've heard some relatively simplistic assessments that he is going to be the voice of the Never Trump movement ," a senior adviser to Romney 's Presidential campaign said last week . 
Romney is a very pragmatic politician , too . 
Romney himself has made no sign of wanting to be part of such a faction , even if it existed . 
One of his advisers reminded me last week that Romney took the idea of being Trump 's Secretary of State seriously , and believed that Trump 's interest in him was entirely sincere . 
And , a month after his appalled reaction to Charlottesville , Romney tweeted praise for Trump 's speech before the U.N. General Assembly . 
Romney 's potential for tragedy and heroism both spring from the same source : the depth of his feeling for a version of America that may exist only in his mind , a place where the trees in Michigan are exactly the right height . 
Romney 's return to Utah has some elements of a homecoming ; it is also , more simply , a move to accommodating political terrain . 
Utah is a conservative state whose politics are moving toward Romney , rather than away . 
Modern Utah , the place of the salvaged Salt Lake Olympics , exists in the Romney image .
answer:
Mitt Romney


question:
(CNN)  Iraq war veteran Taylor Winston  became a hero on the night of the mass shooting in Las Vegas after  he  used a stranger's truck to rush critically wounded victims to the hospital.
Now  Winston  has a new truck of  his  own.
An Arizona car dealership rewarded  him  Monday with a free  customized Ford F-150 in appreciation for  his  bravery and quick thinking on October 1  when  Winston  made two trips to the hospital while officials were still scrambling to get ambulances to the concert venue.  Winston  credited  his  military training for helping  him  keep a "cool head."
"It was still quite scary  but we just knew they (the victims) had to get to the hospital immediately "  Winston  told CNN's Anderson Cooper last week. "No ambulances were immediately available. There was far too many casualties for anyone to handle."
B5 Motors would like to give  #vegashero Taylor Winston  a free truck. Please help us find  him . #HelpB5MotorsfindTaylorWinston pic.twitter.com/2dJICGLvyI — B5 Motors (@B5Motors) October 4  2017
