Bowa interview on NBC10:

-- the continued struggles over the last 2 years show "it's not the manager"

Ding. Ding.

Like I said earlier in this post, firing Charlie does nothing but appease the people who hate on him. Until Monty is gone and/or the owners sell AND they get rid of some of the crap, they will be exactly like this....inconsistently frustrating.

Anyone see Ryan Howard drop another ball at first today? And people complain about Bobby Abreu...

Yes.

His defense is bad. His range is also bad.

He needs to work at it big time.

And have fun at Jubilee. Congrats on being in college and still going to some kiddie summer camp. I hope you have fun making S'mores, singing camp songs and taking swimming lessons.

they are saying on wip that had the phils lost yesterday manuel would have been fired and replaced by dallas green for the rest of the season

SunMo · June 19, 2006, 08:37:50 AM

i don't believe that...because when you lose 5 of 6 at home the one win shouldn't save your job.

ice grillin you · June 19, 2006, 08:39:49 AM

as far as the big picture i agree...but having "phils swept at home by rays" all over town might have gotten it done

SunMo · June 19, 2006, 08:43:03 AM

yeah...i agree. i'm convinced that Gillick knows this year is over and why bother making a change. it's all about next year anyway.

Charlie get the vote of confidence

hunt · June 19, 2006, 09:05:04 AM

if you want your hillbilly manager fired, you'll be happy when my yanks take 2 out of 3 in philly.

Pat Gillick cites inconsistency as a reason why the Phills have been struggling of late. (Philadelphia Phillies)

2 of 3 is a given. If you want to talk trash, you should be referring to brooms and such.

yeah really if the yankees dont sweep the series is a failure...for god sakes the devil rays just took two of three...and the yanks have the top of their rotation going in the series

So do the Phillies:

BigEd76 · June 19, 2006, 06:13:28 PM

Abreu and Howard both out of the lineup tonight. Utley playing 1st $:-\$

PhillyPhreak54 · June 19, 2006, 06:28:58 PM

Yo, its not like the Phillies have never been swept by the D-Rays. They are something like 5-10 against them. I think they got swept down there two or three years ago.

I don't believe the WIP thing either. Although it would have been mighty intresting to see Dallas Green with this team. I can already hear the crying.

I almost wish it would've happened though. That way when I do listen to the radio, which is rare now, I can stop hearing "They need a tough manager like Dallas Green. He won it all in 1980. So obviously he can win it 26 years later!"
