Charlie Manuel

I've waited until near the end of the seires to bring this up, but does Charlie Manuel look sick to anyone else? He looks like he has lost a ton of weight, but his face looks like he is sick with something. Hope not, but it would not surpise me if we find out after the series, that something is wrong.

He's been on Power Alley every Wednesday. I hope he's not ill because I've developed a fondness for him. Let's hope he's just fatigued.

Yes David, I also thought to myself that his color is not good, his face looked thin and drawn, and overall he does not look well. I too hope it's just the stress of being in the series, and now that he will be home able to relax, all will be fine.

I too hope Charlie is ok. He had some health problems during his time in Cleveland. (Some very reliable sources attributed at least part of his lack of success there to that). Hopefully the weight loss was planned - like Ryan Howard's. Fat hides a lot of wrinkles as you get older!

He was overweight and his Doctor told him to go on a diet.
