Lineups!
REMINDER- The Live Blog starts a half hour before the first pitch (that's about 1:00ish PT).
Same folks, slightly different arrangement:
Furcal- SS
Martin- C
Ramirez- LF
Ethier- RF
Loney- 1B
Kemp- CF
DeWitt- 2B
Blake- 3B
Billingsley- 1
The Phillies swap out Pedro Feliz for Greg Dobbs at third, but beyond that it's the same ol'.
Rollins- SS
Victorino- CF
Utley- 2B
Howard- 1B
Burrell- LF
Werth- RF
Dobbs- 3B
Ruiz- 2
Myers- 1
On a sad note, Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel's mother passed away this morning. He'll manage the team this afternoon, but obviously with a heavy heart.

If we can hold them to 3 runs a game, that should be good enough to win the series. If not, you can't blame the pitching. Also-lefty or righty- I'd rather see Ethier bat ahead of manny.

Oh man... that's a drag. Best thoughts with the Manuel Family, that kind of loss is never easy to take.

Goooo Dodgers please win tonight and I will be having tons of Chillada's for Joe Torre and the Manny's

First of all I would like to pass along my sympathies to Charlie Manual and his Family...
Now on to Baseball...
This could either fire up their team or make them depressed...I was expecting a split in Philly and this could ruin my plans
Good game last night...Game could have gone either way...looking for a different outcome tonight...Go Dodgers

Looks like Torre's going back to lineup order from the NLDS

There is something about M Ramirez that gets under the skin of team mates. It's his self-confidence, or his lackadaisical base-running, or something else. It was that way in Cleveland and Boston. One can almost guarantee that it will happen in LA. Then again, maybe Torre can deal with it better than Wedge and Francona.
