NLDS Game 2 starting lineup with quick-hitters

FROM THE MORNING CALL

Someone asked Roy Halladay today if it wasn't as rewarding to help a team get to the postseason that had been there the three previous years as opposed to helping a team get there that hadn't been there in years and that you came up with....in other words, wouldn't it have been more rewarding to help the Blue Jays (Halladay's former team) get into the playoffs than the Phillies.

Halladay was very diplomatic with his answer:

"There is definitely something to be said if you're able to do it in a place you came up with," he said. "But I think once you realize how much goes into the season, how hard it is....we're looking at seven games back in the middle of the season with four or five guys hurt at once, and you realize what a challenge it is."

WHAT CHARLIE SAID ABOUT POLANCO

Manager Charlie Manuel is no longer worried about Placido Polanco's back, and doesn't think he'll be limited in any way.

"He's feeling very good," Manuel said. "He told me he's feeling a lot better, and I took that as he's going to play the game the way he always has."

"I wanted to have a couple of right-handers behind (Ryan) Howard in case they brought in their left-handed relievers," Manuel said.
