Charlie Manuel is tired of talking about his contract. The deal for the Philadelphia Phillies manager expires at the end of this season, along with the deals for Chase Utley and Carlos Ruiz, and probably the agreement for Roy Halladay, too. "This is the last time I'll answer about my deal, OK?" Manuel said Saturday. "I'm very satisfied with the way it is." Ryne Sandberg, the Phillies' Triple-A manager for the last two seasons, earned a promotion to third-base coach and appears to be the manager in waiting. Manuel hopes to manager beyond this year and said he's tired of having to explain why he should be worthy of another deal. "I shouldn't have to explain it to anybody, the team or President Obama or anybody. Seriously," Manuel said. "That's kind of how I look at it. I'm not worried about my contract. I've been in baseball 51 years, and right now I definitely plan on staying in baseball and I plan on managing."
