On to the PNC clone

The Bucs are in Philly for 3 games at the PNC clone, Citizens Bank Ballpark. Ian Snell will attempt to end a streak of awfulness by the starting pitching that's seen something like one quality start in the past 17 games (and a 1-11 record for the starters). John Lieber is making his first start for the Phillies in about six weeks, as he's spent some time on the DL. Nate McLouth has gotten the start in right tonight over Craig Wilson and Burnitz. Insanely, he's batting leadoff. Insanely, the best two guys for the top two slots in the lineup right now, Freddy Sanchez and the very hot hitting Jose Bautista, are batting 5th and 6th while McLouth and Jack Wilson occupy the first two slots in the lineup. And somehow I'm not surprised.
