That is a douchebag move if he actually does it.

I was fine with him doing it once. 27 worked out great.

I still say douchey move if he goes with #28

[Fluffhead]

Perhaps he could change his name to CC Matsui? Without them, I am not so sure #27 would be in the bag. The players won, not Gayrardi

Most ball players are very superstitious. If he thinks the #27 helped them win, then it helped them win! If he thinks the #28 will help them win, then it will help them win!

i wouldn't go that far, but he did overmanage many games.

And Grandpa Chaulie is a genius who reminded all of us of Grady Little this World Series. Having Pedro go into the 7th after 99 pitches. Pitching Lee in a huge lead in the 9th in game 1 after 100 pitches.

Girardi might overmanage at times but he only has 3 years of experience. I have never seen a manager handle the bullpen as well as Girardi has. Especially after Torre who would burn out arms by the All Star break.

Um, isn't that usually how it works? The players have to perform, and if they don't perform, they don't win.

And why is 28 a douchey move? Aside from the OP thinking it's a douchey move, he gave no reason as to what made it douchey. I say go for it. I like a manager who isn't afraid to say, "My goal is to win the world series".


And to the angry Phils fan, if Girardi is such a shit manager, why is he a world series champion manager? (aside from the payroll argument please) If Charlie Manuel is better, why is your team not celebrating two in a row. I think the manager has far less to do with the outcome of the games than the players. The manager doesn't actually play these days, you know that right?

[WildCpac]

I guess LaRussa is a douchey manager for doing the same thing in St Louis with his number.

[A.Lange=Crazy]

Just like Torre if you have that talent anybody can win a WS.

If you think he manages the bullpen great your crazy.

I'm not saying I agree with all the moves he makes. Course, it's easy for me to sit on a couch and manage after the fact.

However, I AM saying he did a better job than your manager. Guess your manager is even shittier?

Stop being so angry. New season starts in a couple months.

[A.Lange=Crazy]

Manuel will never be a great x and o manager which I said since he got hired, but he is a better manager than Girardi.

I'm not angry.

One won the world series this year and one didn't. I'm gonna go ahead and say that the manager who won this year is the better manager.

[A.Lange=Crazy]

Manager doesn't play like you said. Since Torre didn't win the WS Girardi is better than him?

Yup Manuel is a better manager than Girardi.


Game 1

Leaves Lee in a 6-0 game to pitch the bottom of the 9th against the Yankees to throw 120 pitches.

Game 2

Leaves Pedro to pitch the bottom of the 7th against the Yankees after going 99 pitches through the first 6.

Game 4

Has Brad Lidge pitch the top of the 9th in a tie game against the Yankees against the top of the lineup. Phillies just took alll of the momentum in the bottom of the 8th and would have won the game in the ninth if it had remained tied. Keeps Lee in after he plunked Tex and got beat up by Arod. Has the stupid shift on for Tex with Damon on first.

Game 6.

Keeps Pedro in the 2-1 game to face Matsui with the Yankees ahead 2-1. Everyone in the fucking world knew that Matsui was going to get another hit to score more runs.

Little things throughout the series.

Keeping Howard who stunk the whole time in the 4 spot and not moving up Werth. Great for the Yankees because Girardi was able to go to Marte who got Howard and Utley out the whole series.

How about keeping Feliz 7th and Ruiz 8th. How many times did Feliz strand runners on base when Ruiz is a Yankee killer?


Grandpa Chaulie sure is a good manager and better than Girardi.

[A.Lange=Crazy]

Manuel did nothing wrong. Yankees are just the better team.

[Oh!]

Lame, especially considering they won in spite of him.

You are right. He did nothing. He left in Lee in too long in game 1. He left Pedro in too long in games 2 and 6. He left Lidge in, he had the stupid shift on. He didn't change the lineup and had Howard and Feliz come up time and time and time and time and time and time again with runners on base to do nothing.

[A.Lange=Crazy]

Not going to change lineup and kill Howard's confidence. Say the same thing why didn't they move down Teixeira and Cano?

Saw how bad the bullpen is so let Lee go as long as he can and Lidge got two easy outs before meltdown.

It was demoting Howard and and Feliz one spot down. It wouldn't have been like Clueless Joe moving Arod down to 8th. How did keeping Howard and Feliz in their current spots work? They still fucking sucked and failed 99 percent of the time with runners on. Good thing Grandpa Chaulie kept their confidence level up.

You cant keep Lidge in the game after plunking Tex to face Arod. Especially not after this year. How about keeping Lidge in the game after getting beat by Arod to face Posada with the insurance runs on 2nd and 3rd? Everybody knew Posada was going to get a hit.

How did the shift with a runner on first work out for the Phillies against Tex? Damon just had one of the World Series at bats in history and followed it up with one of the top 10 plays of all time.

Turning point of the series was Girardi calling for the steal and Grandpa Chaulie calling for the shift. Which one worked out? Yup Grandpa Chaulie sure is the better manager.


Ummmmm. Are you even a Phillies fan? Did you watch the game? You just said that Grandpa Chaulie left Lee in as long as possible and Lidge got 2 outs before the meltdown.

Lee Pitched game 5 you and Lidged pitched in game 4 you fucking dope.

I say go for it man, we should be in the WS again, more so if we get Bay or Holliday, or both

[MOAK]

im pretty sure that if the phillies would have signed cc, aj, and tex in the offseason, manuel would have managed "better". the yankz payroll gave them a better team and that is why they won. had nothing to do with girardi vs manuel.
