Manuel: No more fun and games

Following the Phillies 9-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Friday, Charlie Manuel basically said "no more Mr. Nice Guy."

He doesn't want guys to be too comfortable with themselves, with spring training or with the way the team has been playing. The Phillies have lost dropped nine of 11 after starting 3-2-1.

“It's good to be relaxed and it's good to be loose, but it's about time for us to talk,” Manuel said. “We got some guys that are too cool and there's a fine line between having a real good time and being relaxed, and taking it for granted and being complacent.

“We have something happening, but it's nothing that we can't take care of.”
More from Charlie and a couple players - Chase Utley and Shane Victorino - in tomorrow's Daily Times.
