There's no cheering in the pressbox, but with a long last two weeks of baseball in the rearview mirror - and, very likely, another long two weeks ahead - it really wouldn't hurt any baseball writer's feelings if the Phils win today.

Of course, this means they'll lose. Like CC Sabathia before him, Jamie Moyer has to be due for a stinker, right? The ageless wonder is 10-4 with a 3.20 ERA in his last 21 starts.

In my mind, he's one of the most underrated players in baseball this year. I guess he's not flashy, and flashy sells and garners highlights on TV.

But you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the game more prepared. Although I think he's due for a loss, Moyer seems to shine in bigger games.

Here is today's story on the 45-year-old lefty.

News of the day: We've got a lineup change. Two days after placing Shane Victorino to the second spot and Jayson Werth to the sixth slow - a move that paid dividends - the two outfielders have been flip-flopped again.

Here is today's Phils lineup, which is going up against Conestoga's Dave Bush:

1. Jimmy Rollins, SS
2. Jayson Werth, RF
3. Chase Utley, 2B
4. Ryan Howard, 1B
5. Pat Burrell, LF
6. Shane Victorino, CF
7. Pedro Feliz, 3B
8. Carlos Ruiz, C
9. Jamie Moyer, P


Just a quick follow on Vic and Werth - neither hit Bush well. They're a combined 2-for-15 off the right-hander.

But the three middle-of-the-order cogs, who have struggled so far in this series, could very well break out on Bush. Utley, Howard and Burrell are a combined 14-for-26 (.538) with six home runs and 10 RBIs.
