It's also great listening to Philly sports radio, on Sunday and Monday everybody wanted Manuel to get manager of the year, now after losing 2 in a row they want him fired. It's amazing how the tides can turn in a couple of days

Days??? This city can turn on ya as fast as a double switch. 610 WIP is a joke. Nothing but the creme de la crumbs call in. Chuckles didnt do half bad this year, IMO. Shaky calls? Yea. At least his position players were comfortable enough to play loose ball. Don't get me wrong, I love Larry Bowa, but his style didnt mesh with these overpaid pampered pros. Chuckles fits these guys to a tee.
