Sorry Charlie

"Somebody ought to check on the Mets if they did [complain], because their f*cking home record is out of this world and they're losing on the road," Manuel told MLB.com today. "That's a good indication sometimes, if you want to know about signs and [stuff].

"When I see somebody is 17-2 at home and 4-12 on the road I kind of get concerned about that. That kind of crosses my mind."

Thats Charlie Manuel after getting bitch-slapped by MLB for using binoculars to spy on opposing teams catchers desperately trying to rationalize that it must be the Mets that are cheating due to the discrepancy of the Mets home/away record.

Everybody and their mother knew then that Charlie's weak display was infantile at best, and trying to redirect the scent of his cheating-ass team at worst--it carried no weight regardless.  But after the Mets 7-2 road trip which featured two consecutive sweeps of the Orioles and Indians brought their road record to a respectable 15-20, it only makes Manuel look all the more stupid.

I've heard and seen all the Phillies Phans rationalizations.  No need to recount them.  However, one final observation for you Phans to think about before you cry yourselves to sleep each night:  Don't you find it interesting that the putrid brand of sub-.500 baseball the Phillies have been displaying is directly correlated with the the warning MLB issued for Binocular-gate? In other words, once you guys got caught, the losses started piling up.  Here's to hoping it continues.  Got any other theories Charlie?
