    Charlie Manuel guessed right, twice.

    Tony La Russa, well, he wound up getting second-guessed. And on his 67th birthday.

    Pinch-hitter Ben Francisco and closer Ryan Madson made their manager's moves look smart, and the Philadelphia Phillies held off the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in their NL playoff series.
