When you win, you're better, and that comes from having better players

Loved the quote from Phillies manager Charlie Manuel in today's USA Today:

"I'm the same ol' Charlie. I'm the same manager I was when I managed in Triple-A or Double-A or A ball. I know what I can do. When you win, you're better, and that comes from having better players. The players is what makes a good manager. When I send Cole Hamels to the mound, I expect to look good. Give me five Cole Hamels and four (Brad) Lidges in the bullpen, I'll be very good."
