I have no idea how I missed this yesterday (perhaps it was my 12-hour workday with no lunch), but Jim Salisbury of the Inquirer had what might be the best article ever written.
He chats it up with Phils skip Charlie Manuel about his relationship with the eccentric Manny Ramirez; whom Charlie coached in Triple-A Charlotte and Cleveland. Normally, I’d point out a funny paragraph, toss it in block quotes and feel I’ve quenched the thirst of you fine readers. But this thing (the whole thing) is so good and so funny, I DEMAND everyone go read it. If you don’t chuckle one time or feel like you wasted your time reading it, I’ll send you $10 via Paypal. And then I’ll track you down and punch you in the face for being a humorless bore. Now get to reading!

Everyone who thought Charlie Manuel would outlast Willie Randolph as a manager in the NL East, raise your hands.

I guess Salisbury edited out the part where Chollie and Manny go get special massages in Japan.
