Howard Eskin, in mocking Phillies manager Charlie Manuel for questionable in-game decisions, has taking to calling him the derisive nickname "World Series Charlie."
Why is this nickname derisive? I can't seem to figure it out. Manuel won one World Series and got to another. Isn't that a good thing? Wouldn't this be like mocking Stephen Hawking by calling him "Nobel Prize Steve"?
