Manager Charlie Manuel
A portal about baseball manager Charlie Manuel and the Philadelphia Phillies.
Dear Charlie Manuel,
Even the most heartfelt of letters cannot truly express the pride I feel due to your workmanship and that of your clubhouse. For the second consecutive year, I get to spend anywhere between four and seven nights praying, crying and irresponsibly exercising my vocal chords in hopes of another parade down Broad Street.

Rich Hofman has an article in today's Philadelphia Daily News saying that the Phillies should acquire Roy Halladay . Hofman also points out the obvious that the Yankees won the World Series because they had the better pitching, which is nothing but the truth. He also says that retooling the bullpen, and adding to the bench are other priorities.
Tom's Take: I can't say that I disagree because the Phils could use another reliable starter since...

PHILADELPHIA — Put those parade plans on hold, New York. The Phillies are coming back.
Desperate to hang onto their World Series title and hounded by the Yankees to the very last swing, Philadelphia somehow held on for an 8-6 win last night in Game 5.

Amaro was speaking about the Phillies’ minor league system. He had traded four of the organization’s top prospects for Lee last July, and now he had traded three more top prospects for Halladay.
“It would have left us short in the amount of talent at the upper levels of the minor leagues,” Amaro said by telephone from Philadelphia. “We had already moved four good prospects in the Lee trade...

The Phillies have agreed to terms on a three-year, $18 million contract with infielder Placido Polanco, a major-league source said Thursday.
Polanco will return to Philadelphia, where he played from 2002 through 2005, to replace Pedro Feliz as the starting third baseman. The agreement comes one day after the division rival Braves signed Billy Wagner to be their closer, as both teams appear to be fortifying their rosters for what could be an...

David Murphy of the Philadelphia Daily News is speculating (http://www.philly.com/dailynews/sports/20091112_Phillies_like_the_third-base_market.html) that Phillies GM Rueban Amaro Jr. has talked to the Pirates about a trade for Andy LaRoche. I would be curious to see what Amaro would be willing to offer, but, to me, it does not appear to be a good time to trade Luigi.

Larry Bowa, the former Philadelphia manager, former Yankees third base coach and current Dodgers third base coach, suggested the Bombers are trying to combat the Phillies' propensity for stealing signs. And the Phillies didn't like the accusation.
