Phillies' Dobbs goes home with flu (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Phillies utility man Greg Dobbs has returned to Philadelphia before Game 2 of the World Series because he has the flu. Dobbs was a candidate to be the designated hitter against Yankees right-hander A.J. Burnett in Thursday night's game, but Matt Stairs got the nod in his absence. Dobbs is 0 for 4 in the postseason.
