Charlie Manuel must be fired!!!

11 games into the season and it's tough to watch. If he lasts until the 20th game I may not attend another Phillies game all year, including "roof top Thursday's"... even if it's 80 degrees with cheap drinks and beautiful chicks.

Latest "Charlie of Mayberry" basic strategy mix up. Phils have 8 runners LOB after 5- the usual. Down 4-1, bottom of the 6, first 2 guys single (1st and 2nd), w/ no outs, and Ruiz coming to the plate (w/ Pitcher up next and having a PH). Instead of bunting the guys over, 2nd and 3rd, 1 out and having the PH come up... He elects to have Ruiz hit, ends up being an 0-2 count, and he grounds into you, guessed it, a double play, w/ a guy left on 3rd. Pinch hitter lines to left. 9 guys LOB after 6.
