Seriously??? Bowa, a coach for the fucking Dodgers, is such a mindreader that he knows what two players on another team are thinking? He's an absolute asshole, and focusing on this petty nonsense is exactly why he never won anything as a manager. Remember when Tyler Houston got released in response to Pat Burrell's supposed "snubbing" of Bowa in the dugout? Bowa thinks he's old school, but he's really a child, stamping his feet so that today's players will listen to him. On another note, can I reiterate how much I absolutely love this Phillies team? They have fought and scraped through so many problems this season (bad starting pitching, inconsistent bullpen pitching, Lidge's struggles, Hamels' struggles, Rollins' early-season slump, Raul's second half swoon) and are still playing in November. Heart may be hard to define, but it's easy to identify when you watch the Phillies play. “Posada was paranoid about it,” Bowa said. “CC was paranoid about it.”

Seriously??? Bowa, a coach for the fucking Dodgers, is such a mindreader that he knows what two players on another team are thinking?
