Is Charlie Manuel, right, a master manager?

Was the Phillies win in Game a result of Joe Torre's incompetence or Charlie Manuel's cagy manipulations?

Read more on Charlie getting the last chuckle.

Here's excerpt from the story:

The mythology is already starting, and the Phillies haven't yet dispatched the Dodgers in the NLCS.
But from the Left Coast to the Delaware Valley yesterday, on talk radio, on TV and in angry blogs and furious e-mails, fans and even some media folk are creating a myth for the ages.
They're saying the reason the Phils are on the verge of their sixth World Series in 125 years is because Charlie Manuel is outmanaging Joe Torre.
Dodger fans are roasting the man who won four World Series rings with the Yankees for getting snookered by Uncle Charlie, who understands that a manager's primary job is to keep his players happy. Executing arcane strategic "moves" is not nearly so high a priority.
