Lineup shake up

Charlie Manuel has made a couple lineup changes for tonight against Florida Marlins lefthander Dontrelle Willis:

1) Aaron Rowand
2) Shane Victorino
3) Jimmy Rollins
4) Chase Utley
5) Pat Burrell
6) Wes Helms
7) Abraham Nunez
8) Rod Barajas

Ryan Howard was 3 for 8 lifetime against Willis, but Manuel decided to rest him instead. Helms is playing first, with Nunez at third.

No wonder the Mets are so big.

Liked this comment on Balls, Sticks, & Stuff:

"Incidentally, if you've ever seen an episode of "Hogan's Heroes", the Germans are always threatening to send someone to the Russian front as a means of punishment or motivation... I can't help but think the word "Ottawa" carries similar weight in the Phils' clubhouse."

Thanks Todd, I was wondering if I was the only one who found my joke funny.
