The greatest manager in all the land, Charles Fuqua Manuel, spoke with reporters yesterday during a team workout at The Bank. Per usual, it was filled with great quotes and insight that lets you know what kind of baseball addict the Phils skip really is (he said he got into managing so he could still take batting practice on the field) and those equipped with microphones wouldn’t be doing their reporter-jobs if they didn’t ask him who he’d rather face in the World Series.
Well, good ol’ Cholly isn’t one to mince words, so he told the people exactly how he felt:
“Tampa Bay’s young, it would be kinda good to play them, but to me — I always wanted to bring down The Nation.“
This “Nation” Charlie speaks of is the Red Sox annoying worldwide fanbase of losers and bandwagon jumpers. You know, the same “fans” that probably turned off Game Five of the ALCS in the 6th inning.

I love you, Charlie.
Phuck Boston. Fuck New England. Fuck Tom Brady and his injury. Fuck Shadows Fall. Fuck KG, Paul Pierce[d], Ray Allen and the Celtics. Fuck the mispronunciation of the word ‘celtic’. Fuck Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Fuck the Sox. Fuck Johnny Damon and his pretty boy beard and long hair (circa 2004). Fuck Trot Nixon, Nomar, Jason Varitek, and Eliza Dushku’s pussy. FUCK DANE COOK and fuck Steven Wright.
I’m gonna take a dump in a Boston Market, just as a big ‘fuck you’ to the clam chowder eatin’ motherfuckers.

to be fair, i probably would have turned the phillies off if they were losing 7 to nothing… i would still check the score every 5 or 10 minutes though…
October 19th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
I’m sorry, but I don’t wan the Phils playing Boston… I don’t want to hear Buck and McCarver talking about how great the Red Sox are and how no none can beat them… Otherwise I would gladly bring on those fuckers.

You know, I was dead set on playing the Rays, but hey, if Charlie wants to bring down the nation, then I think we can and will bring down the nation. Hands down best Charlie quote of 2008.
October 19th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
No questions asked, Charlie is the man, ya know?
October 19th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Nation??? HA! more like a colony of chowder head bandwagons. FUCK BOSTON FUCK TAMPA IT’S OUR TIME BITCHES!!!!!!!
October 19th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
My goodness, I love you Chollie. Annex the Nation and repopulate it with Phils phans. ♥

Charlie wasn’t actually talking about the Red Sox, he was talking about the US. Few know this but Charlie was a former member of the Weathermen.
October 19th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Gotta love the set of balls on ol’ Cholly. I can’t decide who the better match-up for us is but I know I like the idea of the Fightins bringin down the nation. It feels the same as the birds taking down America’s team.

If the entire city of Boston burnt down tomorrow I would drive 7 hours just to piss on the ashes and get drunk to celebrate the holiday. I. megaloathe. Boston.

Robert: I agree with you, but you do realize now we are going to have to listen to “the talent of this young team that took America by surprise…that brang down Boston…oh my…”
I really just want to get to wed. so we can start kicking some ass…I can’t wait any longer..

Other than “Destroyer of Senses”, what Shadows Fall puts out can be categorized with In Flames as Puss Metal.

What does Uncle Cholly have against a left-wing political magazine? Wait, what…

The REAL Sox fans are the ones who at the very least, were there for the gigantic kick in the junk that was the 2003 ALCS with Aaron Fucking Boone, when we had not won one in 85 years (86 and won it in 04). I, along with the rest of the real Sox fans, hate the bandwagoners and spouters just as much as you do.
But don’t lump the real Sox fans in with the wagon jumpers, I beg of you.

Wise up! Fisnish those GED’s!

Alexa: The next time you write about how stupid a group of fans are, perhaps you should “chesneck” your spelling.
