Heading into 2008 charlie Manuel was a guy who failed with some of the most loaded Indians offenses of all time. Then he missed the playoffs his first two years here, despite being in a position to make them heading into the last week of the season. Then he finally made the playoffs, after a historic finish, only to loose to the Rockies.

We're the Phillies crazy to bring him back or 2008? At that point he at a much worse winning pct then Ron or Don.

Is winning percentage what you base a good manager on?
