Larry Bowa

I'm no fan of Larry Bowa but what is really killing the Phillies is the starts of Lieberthal, Rollins and Abreu plus the pitching of Randy Wolf. Is Bowa's management style the cause of the lack of production from these guys? I don't buy that.

Combined those four guys make about the same as the entire payroll of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Both the Devil Rays and Phillies are 5-7 (just one of those odd coincidences).

That said - Bowa never makes it to the 4th of July as manager.
