Charlie Manuel announced that Ryan Madson will start the seventh inning tonight in Game 5 of the World Series.
"He's got experience, and a couple of years ago he was a starter," Manuel said. "He's been throwing the ball real good. I think from a mindset he also knows that, we've just got three innings of baseball for our bullpen to pitch."
A reporter asked Manuel about the Rays being a team of destiny based on what happened in Game 5 on Monday. Manuel had a great response.
"I wouldn't trade positions," he said. "So I guess I feel like I have an advantage. That's kind of how I look at it. Destiny is one thing, but if they're destined, we want to definitely fight through destiny."
WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!! THERE IS A PARTY TONIGHT IN SAN ANTONIO, A LOT OF TEXANS LOOKING AT ME LIKE I AM CRAZY BUT I DO NOT CARE, I'VE WAITED 25 YEARS FOR THIS!!!!!! TRUTH, NORMA, JEFF GROSS, JOHN IN LA AND YES, YOU TOO, ZO- CELEBRATE!!!!! THE CURSE IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!— KMG- How much drama and excitemnt could they have packed into 3 1/2 innings!!! Brunlett's pinch hit double! J.Roll BUNTING him over! Then Bruntlett scores! Guess I should mention the Rays HR, here. Boo! Chase's GREAT throw to the plate to prevent another run! Another perfect 6-4-3 double play! An rbi hit for Feliz! Heck, even Pat finally got a hit. A double to boot! And how perfect was a 3 pitch strike-out by Lidge to end it! Cole was great, but I really think Lidge should have won MVP. CONGRATS TO ALL US BLOGGERS! CONGRATS TO THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA! BUT MOST OF ALL...CONGRATS TO THE WORLD CHAMPION PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES!!!! WAHOOOOO!!!!!!— Norma
