"Charlie Manuel is kind of stuck.He knows that the only way slumping Raul Ibanez will find his groove again is to play. He also knows that going out night after night without having some success can become a mental anchor.So, for the seventh time since Ibanez came off the disabled list with a strained left groin, the manager posted a lineup last night that didn't have his regular leftfielder in it. Ben Francisco got the start in that spot."Raul's had some down time. That might be one of his problems," Manuel said. "At the same time, he's been struggling. I think he definitely needs to play in a game to get out of it. In a game's where you get your timing. You can go back and take all the batting practice you want to, but in the game is where they throw the curveballs and changeups. That's kind of how I see it."Before going on the DL, Ibanez was batting .312 with 22 homers and 59 RBI in 62 games with a 1.027 OPS. In 44 games since being reactivated, he's hitting .209 with five homers, 20 RBI and a .684 OPS.He's also in an 0-for-14 slump and has 10 hits in is last 78 at bats (.128). He has one home run in his last 32 games (113 ABs)."
