BY JOE McDONALD ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- While the Red Sox and the Rays were preparing for Game One of the ALCS, over in the National League, the Phillies and the Dodgers were already in the midst of Game Two of their championship series. The news coming out of Philly wasn't all about baseball, however, as Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel's mother died Friday morning after a brief illness. June Manuel was 87. Charlie Manuel, 64, decided it was best to stay with his club and his players responded with an 8-5 victory over the Dodgers. Red Sox manager Terry Francona is a friend of Manuel and said he realizes how tough it must have been to manage the game. "I would think these next couple of hours are probably a way to get away from reality," said Francona earlier today.
