The Philadelphia Phillies fired manager Charlie Manuel Friday, Aug. 16, after eight seasons with the club. Ryne Sandberg is expected to take over as the new manager, but it's unknown if it will just be on an interim basis. Manuel took over in 2005 and won at least 85 games in his first seven seasons with the team, including a World Series victory in 2008. Manuel's record with the team was 780-636.

Philadelphia Phillies 1B Ryan Howard has hit just one home run in his last 107 plate appearances entering play on Wednesday, June 12. Manager Charlie Manuel was asked if his recent struggles might be related to an ailing left knee and if he'd consider hitting someone else fourth. The questioning led to a somewhat heated exchange in which his frustrations became obvious. Manuel was asked if he was upset about the offense or the questions concerning it, and he replied, "A little of both, probably. We are inconsistent performance-wise. And when you've got that, it's hard. We won five games in a row, then we lose four. That's kind of how we've been playing."

Fantasy Tip: Well then. Howard heated up briefly after he received a cortisone shot, but the knee is a problem he acknowledged he may have to deal with for the rest of the season. He may slowly round back into form, but that form may be of a 25- or 30-homer player, at best. The offense certainly misses Chase Utley, too.

Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said he doesn't plan on retiring after this season as he enters the final year of his contract. "I still want to manage," Manuel said. "I'm not ready for somebody to tell me to go home. I'm not ready to quit managing. I'm not ready to get out of the game." Third base coach Ryne Sandberg is thought to be the next managerial candidate if Manuel steps down.
