Why Charlie Manuel is not seeking an extension or willing to say 2013 is his last season:
"I know how old I am," said Manuel, 68. "I have a favorite saying, know thyself. I know myself. I still have a lot of passion, I have a drive, I still love baseball, things like that. I think my contract is fine. I think at the end of the year, I’ll be glad to sit down and not only take inventory of myself, but talk to the people and see where I’m at and see what I want to do. I’m not saying I’m going to retire or I’m going to quit or nothing like that. I've been in the game a long time and I love it.
"I’m looking forward to this year because I think it’s a great challenge, a great challenge for me and a great challenge for our team."
