Funny but True!
Uncly...Manuel doesn't play the book...he plays what he feels inside will work...and he is close to the players......you would never see him deep six a player like Brandon Phillips. He doesn't need you to brown nose him....just play good.

I love some of the things Manuel does, like when he benched Rollins for not running his fastest to first base... How many managers would bench their NL MVP like that?

He really gets his men to play hard for him and I'm very happy he's the Phils manager.

But he's never been known for his brains... that is why its funny to say he's the smartest manager in Philly!

I do understand you,beautiful, but what I'm trying to say is the guy is smart.



Most people can't see that because they have been taught to think superficially only.
