    "Anytime you hit a home run it helps your
    cause," Manuel said. "I like pitching, but I
    love three-run homers, too. I'm a home-run
    manager."

    What a putz. Charlie's simply got to go. I only hope he doesn't do much damage while he's here (read: don't blow out any young pitcher's arm).

    I read that comment & u can look it in a couple ways... for there to be 2 guys on base shows that well, they didn't hit homers.... then, up comes Thome or Branyan or Burks & pops the ball out of there. I have no problem with that.

    Charlie says a lot of things that make the "why'd they say that" list & I just take him how he is. I have no probs w/ Charlie when I saw in 2000 w/ all the injuries we had we were still competing for a post season spot. The same thing happened last year with ChiSox & they didn't even come in 2nd place. BoSox were winning & injuries started hitting & they crumbled, too.

    Last year we won our division so I have no problems with Charlie. I also base this on the fact that several of the players said they would run thr/ a wall for Charlie. Until he proves himself Not worthy of managing then I'm all for giving him a shot.

    Charlie just ain't elequent!!!! He seems like a putz too, like ya said. U have to decipher some of his statements!!!! But because of our club we'll HAVE to play small ball but we still have pop in our line up to bring them in that way, too.

    "I'm a home-run manager" still seems like a very lame comment, but nice try.
