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!
