Insight, observations (and whatever else comes to mind) on the trails of the team that ended the quarter century-long parade drought in the City of Brotherly Love - the Philadelphia Phillies.

World Series: Game 2 lineups


With New York righty A.J. Burnett on the mound, Charlie Manuel wanted another lefty in the lineup. So the only change from Game 1's lineup is Matt Stairs in at DH; Raul Ibanez is back in left field.

Manuel went with Stairs over Dobbs, in part because Dobbs is unavailable. Dobbs has flu-like symptoms and isn't able to pinch hit tonight, either.

PHILS:

Rollins
Vic
Utley
Howard
Werth
Ibanez
Stairs
Feliz
Ruiz

Pedro Martinez is pitching.


YANKS:

Jeter
Damon
Tex
ARod
Matsui
Cano
Hairston
Cabrera
Molina


The two changes for NY: Hairston replaces Swisher and Molina, Burnett's catcher, takes Posada's spot.
