By Peter Lyons

Recognizing that Carlos Ruiz is their best hitter right now, Charlie Manuel has put Chooch at the fifth spot in the batting order against a left-handed starter, batting him higher than sixth for the first time since April 2008. Hooray!

Vance Worley gets the ball for the Phillies against Gio Gonzalez, the "Should of Kept Kid," for the Nationals.
