PHOENIX -- Ryan Howard isn't in the lineup tonight against the D-backs, but this time, it's not because he's swinging the bat poorly. Actually, Charlie Manuel likes how Howard has been swinging. And with Randy Johnson on the mound tonight for Arizona, Manuel doesn't want to see that swing get fouled up. As you might expect, Howard was disappointed by the decision.Much more from Howard in tomorrow's paper.
Tonight's lineup against Johnson (1-1, 4.79 ERA): CF Shane Victorino (.243/0/2), SS Eric Bruntlett (.232/1/7), 1B Chase Utley (.362/13/26), LF Pat Burrell (.315/9/30), RF Jayson Werth (.258/5/13), 3B Pedro Feliz (.222/4/12), C Chris Coste (.304/2/7), 2B Brad Harman (.200/0/1), RHP Adam Eaton (0-0, 4.72 ERA).
Programming note: I'll be joining Jim Jackson on tonight's radio pregame show, so tune in if you get a chance.
More later.
