Here’s the Phillies’ lineup for Game 5 of the NLCS tonight against Tim Lincecum:
1. Shane Victorino, CF
2. Placido Polanco, 3B
3. Chase Utley, 2B
4. Ryan Howard, 1B
5. Jayson Werth, RF
6. Jimmy Rollins, SS
7. Raul Ibanez, LF
8. Carlos Ruiz, C
9. Roy Halladay, P
Ibanez was benched in favor of Ben Francisco with left-hander Madison Bumgarner on the mound for the Giants last night, but he’s back in the lineup against the right-handed Lincecum.
Charlie Manuel has also ended the brief switch of putting Polanco in between left-handed bats Utley and Howard, perhaps realizing that he’s not a strong enough right-handed hitter to really punish the Giants for bringing in left-handed specialist Javier Lopez anyway.

Next time you’re found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look aroundJust what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plantBut he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopesSo any time you’re gettin’ low
‘stead of lettin’ go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plantWhen troubles call, and your back’s to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall
