    Phillies' manager Manuel's mother died today

    Did you guys see this report yet?

    June Manuel, the mother of Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, died Friday morning, the Phillies announced.

    Manuel, who watched batting practice from his usual spot behind the cage on Friday afternoon, will manage Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The game is set for Friday at 4:30 p.m. ET.

    Manuel's pregame news conference Friday was canceled. He did not speak to the media on the field.

    Manuel said of his mother in a 2005 Mother's Day postcard for MLB.com: "I can't imagine a better person in the world than my mother. I hope everybody's mom is like mine. She's been very special to me, and I've been very lucky to have a mother like her."

    The Phillies hold a 1-0 lead over the Dodgers heading into the second game of the NLCS, thanks to a 3-2 win on Thursday night.

    means as little as anything possibly could towards to outcome of today's game.

    All i know if, LA hasn't won in Philly yet this year, and philly hasn't won in LA. Thus Philly's homefield advantage should make all the difference.

    I feel good about the Dodgers. Dodgers had yesterday's game but blew it on the error. The error effected Lowe as he gave up the two home runs after the error. Manny hits one out today.

    It's looking like another Brett Farve preference.

    just heard Victorinos grandma died today also. He didn't find out until after the game.

    Glad Philly won for them. Now Dodgers win next four.

    Phillies win in 6, at most.

    RIP to Manuel's Mom, and Victorino's Grandma.
