Speak out

The Phillies are 12-1 since Charlie Manuel blasted them for their poor play during a game in Florida.

Meanwhile, the Tigers are 17-7 since Jim Leyland lit into them for their play in failing to take a series from Cleveland in mid-April.

What's impressed me about Detroit so far is the team's ability to bounce back. The Tigers rallied after Leyland's tirade. Then, after losing three in a row this month, all by two runs or less, the Tigers have run off four in a row.

I don't know if that's the sign of a good manager, but it is encouraging.
