    Manager Davey Johnson and general manager Mike Rizzo sat side by side on the bench in chummy fashion before the Washington Nationals' game Tuesday and said their recent argument was merely "business as usual."

    Johnson was heard shouting at Rizzo in the clubhouse following the first-place Nationals' most recent game Sunday at Philadelphia, a sloppy loss that extended their losing streak to four games. Johnson sarcastically suggested that Rizzo should manage the team himself.

    "Davey and I talk after every game," Rizzo said. "We talk about the goods and the bads of each and every game, and this was just probably I was a little too emotional. We're both pretty passionate, and I was a little frustrated. I probably could have tabled it until the next morning, but I didn't."
