Per everybody on Twitter that matters. Looks like Charlie Manuel is done (fired? resigned?) and Ryno gets the call.

News as it happens. New conference at 1:30 Central.

Makes sense, he came up with the Phillies, if memory serves me.

It sounds from the presser comments that Charlie Manuel was indeed fired and that Ryno is only on as an "interim" manager, which means he gets a chance to land the permanent (until he's fired too) job next year.

if all works out, he could get his feet wet in philly the rest of this year and next and maybe be ready for the cubs job in 2015. but im sure if the phils hire him, they will give him at least a 2 or 3 yr deal.

Good for Ryno, but unless I see otherwise in Philly I am guessing he will be too bunty and swing early for my liking as a manager. Again love Sandberg the player and wish him well.
