I'll bet Charlie Manuel spent at least one inning after his ejection on the crapper.

I had breakfast in NYC this morning at what I am going to assume was the Phillies hotel because I sat next to Charlie and his gross wifey, then saw Lidge and Jenkins walk in as I left.

I told Charlie he broke my heart last night but all I got was an inaudible grunt.

An inaudible grunt is better than your Manuel...taking absolutely zero blame for his ridiculous call to the BP last night.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports the Phillies have entered the discussions to trade for corner outfielder Xavier Nady and reliver Damaso Marte.

Nady would likely play right field for the Phillies on an every day basis.  Nady is hitting .328 with 12 homers and 56 RBI.  This would be a welcomed addition for Charlie Manuel who speaks often of 'hitting season' and could use another strong bad from the right side.  This would strengthen the bench by having Jayson Werth and Geoff Jenkins on the bench.

Marte could be the lefty reliever Pat Gillick is seeking.  This year, Marte is 4-0 with a 3.55 ERA.  He would join JC Romero as the only southpaws in the bullpen.  Marte won a World Series in 2005 when he was with the Chicago White Sox which adds critical experience in the postseason.

UPDATED (4:13 pm)

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports confirms the Phillies' interest in Nady.

I'd take Nady and Marte but wouldn't give up Carrasco or Marson in any deal to get them.

Really? Why?

[SD_Eagle5]

Nady is having an okay season but overall he's an average outfielder and doesn't hit for much power. Don't really see how he's much of an upgrade of what's already out there.
Marte would be help in the BP l but I wouldn't give up a possible starting pitcher or starting catcher for him.
