How the Phillies fare over the next two weeks is anybody's guess. One thing is certain, no matter what happens through the remaining days of September, the Phillies will be faced with multiple questions come October, the top one being should Charlie Manuel have his contract extended or should he be allowed to move on?

If the Phillies keep playing the Mest the rest of the year they will do just fine......its the rest of the league that they have trouble with...

Being shipped out of Philadelphia is a blessing in disguise for any pro sports coach or manager, or even player.

Philadelphia is a great city, a great sports city, and the place where our country was born. Keith you're an idiot.

Given the Phillies' injuries this season, it's ridiculous that this type of story gets published. Unfortunately, it is reality managing in Philadelphia. Charlie Manuel has the Phillies in the playoff hunt despite a completely patch-worked and often injured pitching staff. He should be one of the leading candidates for National League Manager of the Year rather than a manager worrying about his job. If the Phils let him, they're just bringing themselves down to the level of the Marlins organization.
