yaHoo: Charlie Manuel asks smart phone app to help him out with Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel owns an iPhone, apparently, and he uses the talking help feature known as “Siri” or, as he calls her, “Sirius.” Reporter Ryan Lawrence of the Delaware County Times passed along this nugget of what happens when Uncle Cholly talks to Siri:

“What are you trying to get Sirius up there?” Manuel asked as he looked at a reporter’s iPhone. “Ask Sirius to marry you. She’ll say, ‘I don’t understand that.’ I talk to her every now and then. She don’t understand baseball neither. I’ll say, ‘What’s wrong with this guy?’ And she’ll say, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ She doesn’t understand.”
