NLCS, Game 2: Phils lineup

Just arrived to the park. Here's the Phillies lineup against Dodgers right-hander Chad Billingsley:

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

Although Phils skipper Charlie Manuel, hinted he was thinking of playing Dobbs in Game 2 in his pregame press conference Thursday, I'm a little surprised he stuck with that considering this: Dobbs is 0-for-3 against Billinsgley while Pedro Feliz is 4-for-12 (.333) with a home run and two RBIs against the hard-throwing Dodgers right-hander.

But Charlie is a candidate for NL Manager of the Year and I'm sitting up in the press box, so I'll give the big guy the benefit of the doubt.
