June 21: PREGAME -- Friday's starter

I'm expecting the Phillies to announce in a few minutes who will be starting Friday night in Boston. Once they do, I'll file an update to www.delawareonline.com.

But, if it's any indication, the Red Sox game notes for today list Ryan Madson as Friday's starter, followed by Brett Myers on Saturday and Cory Lidle on Sunday. That would mean the Phillies are skipping rookie Scott Mathieson and going to a four-man rotation, a luxury they have with the off-day tomorrow.

In case you're wondering, the Red Sox will start Josh Beckett on Friday and Curt Schilling on Saturday.

Here's tonight's lineup for the rubber game with the Yankees:

SS Jimmy Rollins
2B Chase Utley
RF Bobby Abreu
LF Pat Burrell
1B Ryan Howard
CF Aaron Rowand
3B David Bell
C Sal Fasano
LHP Cole Hamels
