Charlie Manuel gets 300th win with Phillies

From http://www.lancasteronline.com: "Phillies manager Charlie Manuel has had two winning seasons and four where his team finished over .500. This year, the Phillies are ahead in the NL East with a first-place record of 39-27. What's the key to Manuel's success? Also, what was behind his motivation to bench likely NL MVP Jimmy Rollins? On deck this week is a talk on the NBA Finals, Ken Griffey Jr.'s 600th homerun and the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines."

In the spirit of ESPN's venerable sports show, "Pardon the Interruption," the Sunday News sports writers Eric Stark and Mike Gross host "The Low Post," posted every Wednesday afternoon on http://www.lancasteronline.com. The show covers mostly Pennsylvania sports teams such as the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers and Penn State but also discusses other topical sports stories and issues of the day.

Stark is an editor and sports writer for the Lancaster Sunday News. He has been a sports writer for the Sunday News and Lancaster Intelligencer Journal for 15 years. Gross is a sports columnist and reporter for the Sunday News and has been covering Penn State football, the Phillies and local Lancaster sports for more than 10 years. He previously worked at the Harrisburg Patriot-News and the Lebanon Daily News. He writes a sports blog at http://blogs.lancasteronline.com/mikegross.

Let the truth come out...When Skipper Chunky came over from the Cleveland Indians right after the the Indians had gone to the World Series in 1999, the media there said "This team won despite Manuel. He is the worst coach in all of baseball." After four long seasons in Philly, turns out the meida in Cleveland was dead on. The inmates run the assylum!!! Rollins cried about not wanting to hit third. He leads off. Burrell cried about hitting sixth. He now hits third or more often fifth.
