New contract on horizon for Phillies’ Madson? A fan’s take (Associated Content)
Philadelphia Phillies reliever Brad Lidge has been on the disabled list all season, with no return date yet in sight. Charlie Manuel had tried using set-up man Ryan Madson in the closer role in past seasons, in similar circumstances, but no consistent results were generated.
Fan’s view: Phillies manager Charlie Manuel and Phillies legend Dallas Green (Associated Content)
Charlie Manuel received a two-year extension to his contract that takes him through the 2013 season on Thursday, March 10. By then he will be leading the Philadelphia Phillies into his ninth season as manager. Both he and Dallas Green have already earned their own uniquely deserved accolades. Now, let's look at each manager's numbers. Late in the 1979 season, my sixth grade friends and I watched Dallas Green take over our team and go 19-11.

Barring a monumental collapse, the Phillies will win their fourth straight NL East title and secure home-field advantage throughout the postseason early enough for manager Charlie Manuel and pitching coach Rich Dubee to set their rotation for the first round.

Phils, Rays lead wild cards with 40 games to go (AP)
Charlie Manuel scoffed at the notion of second place. So did Phillies stars Jimmy Rollins and Roy Oswalt. Even if it meant a playoff spot. "We don't care about the wild card," Manuel said this week.

Mauer top vote-getter for All-Star game (AP)
With a bevy of aces to choose from for his National League All-Star staff, manager Charlie Manuel thought there was no reason to rush rookie sensation Stephen Strasburg into the Midsummer Classic. "I say let him pitch and let him get his feet on the ground in the major leagues and kind of let him earn his way," Manuel said Sunday after Major League Baseball announced the rosters for the...
