Jimmy Rollins pinch hit with two outs in
the ninth inning Thursday and grounded into a fielder's
choice, sealing the Phillies' 3-1 defeat. He was, quite literally, too late to help his team stay in first place.
Jimmy Rollins is the Phillies' leader. But what
kind of leadership is he providing? With Charlie Manuel
questioning his club's hunger, Rollins lent credence to those worries, showing up over an hour late to Shea and getting benched for today's...

For the second time this season, Phillies shortstop
(and defending NL MVP) Jimmy Rollins was benched by
manager Charlie Manuel, this time for being late to Shea Stadium for Thursday 12:10pm game time.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Jimmy Rollins was yanked
from Philadelphia's lineup after arriving late to Shea Sta...
Losing to the Mets 3-1 and dropping out
of first place in the NL East for the
first time since May 31st, the Phillies managed to fall apart behind an amazing performance by 45 year-old Jamie Moyer.
The saying lead by example does not come
to mind when speaking of Jimmy Rollins recently. Rollins
was benched again today in the final series against the New York Mets. Jimmy missed the team bus to Shea and decided to drive himself, but the traffic and lights hindered his transit. Rollins did not make it to Shea until 1 hr prior to the game start. He was quickly summoned to the Manager’s ...
With no help from a benched MVP, the
Phillies offense completely wasted a solid pitching performance. Jamie
Moyer pitched 7 strong innings and gave up only one run, but the Phillies couldn't solve Oliver Perez, who pitched 7 and 2/3rds innings, struck out 12 and also gave up only one run. The Mets rallied to win in the 8th inning when Carlos Delgado doubled in a pair of runs...
Harry Caray's last game at Wrigley Field was
Sept 21, 1997. Home Run Derby uncovers what are
very likely the last pictures ever taken of Harry at Wrigley. Taken by a fan, no less.
Just read that "stat" on the bottom line...
For the first time since April 19, the
New York Mets (55-47) have sole possession of first
place. The Mets have won four consecutive series against Philadelphia and have a 9-4 record against the Phillies.
The main topic on WFAN this morning has
been the way Jose Reyes reacted to a 3
run homerun that put the Mets ahead of the Phillies in a huge game.
This was from Tuesday night, and I'm sorry
for not posting on it yesterday, but it's worth
a look see. During the sixth inning of the Mets-Phils game a cat decided to run onto the field. Listen as Keith Hernandez goes nuts over the pretty kitty. From ...
Let me lead off with a quote from
the Miami Herald: Yes, it is a bummer for
this pennant contender that folks aren't in the stands. But it also is a blessing the few sets of eyes on them are either looking through a rosy prism or not really paying attention. That is an advantage only the Marlins enjoy. This seems so absolutely foreign to me, I don't even know where I'd begin to break this
After celebratory jaggov Jose Reyes launched a 3-run
shot in the sixth inning and did his tired
handshake routine with his teammates, the usually mild-mannered Chris Wheeler gave him a piece of his mind: I never thought I’d say ...
Jose Reyes really enjoyed his tie-breaking 3-run homer
last night. Like finger-in-the-air-as-he-rounded-first, did-a-little-dance-on-his-way-into-the-dugout enjoyed it.
The Marlins are living in that sweet spot
of success, that fertile place where expectations remain low
and the scrutiny is still bearable. The Mets and Phillies long ago vacated that friendly place, so we freely discuss the Mets' awful clubhouse ...
What we have here are Pam and Mike,
a couple in love with baseball... and each other.
With that, and some music from Finding Forester, they tie the knot at Citizens Bank Park and have this ridiculous lovely video to show for it. Trying not to lay ...
Yesterday, I told the Mets to burn this
image into their memory. I told them to use
it as motivation for their games against Philadelphia and beyond. Well after Jose Reyes hit his three run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Mets in the lead for good, Reyes showed his rebuttal to Jimmy Rollins' celebration.

When his confidence grew after four minor league
starts, Brett Myers set an ambitious goal of -
I wish I were making this up - winning 10 games for the Phillies in the second half of the season. His quest for double digit victories was made even less likely tonight when he struggled in his return to the big club.
Tonight, Brett Myers started for the Phillies against
the Mets at Shea Stadium while Wally Backman continued
to be blacklisted from Major League Baseball. Unlike Wally Backman, Myers was given a second chance after his legal troubles. We're just pointing that out...
MIAMI -- If the Braves are going to
make a run and put themselves back in legitimate
playoff contention, they are going to need Chipper Jones. But when they go to Philadelphia for an important three-game series against the Phillies this weekend, they ...
There was no mystery whether Billy Wagner would
be available for Wednesday night’s game. Before the media
could start asking questions, Wagner jumped in saying, “I’m going tonight,” he told the media about an hour before the game. “Give you all something to write about.” Then, with the Mets leading 6-3 heading to the ninth inning, like clockwork, the PA system cranked “Enter Sandman” by ...
Baltimore – Okay, let the latest round of
A.J. Burnett trade rumours begin. Burnett is starting tonight's
contest for the Jays and one of the interested onlookers was Gord Lakey, the director of major league scouting for the Philadelphia Phillies, ...
NEW YORK -- The sun still hasn't come
out at Shea, and The Apple continues to buzz
over last night's game. During the 10-minute drive over here from the hotel, a variety of frustrated callers on WFAN were yelling about a) Johan Santana not coming ...
Are these New York Mets for real? They
reeled off 10 straight wins in the month of
July, which began on July 5th and did not end until July 18th. In fact, the Mets are 19-2 since Willie Randolph ...
On Sunday, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Brett Myers was
all talk, telling the media he looked forward to
facing the Mets: “I can’t think of a better team for me to come back against. I don’t like ‘em. We’re not supposed to like them. Nothing against the guys on the team - they’re our rivals. We like beating them; they like beating us.”
I was skimming through the last 30 years
of stats and then got bored, so, I figured
I'd ask if anyone else out there knows: Has there been a year where the top 3 homerun guys are all from the same team? The answer is yes, but with an *. ...

NEW YORK - Maybe Pat Gillick was just
being coy. Or maybe he really doesn't pay attention
to the rumor mill that seems to chug nonstop at this time of year. (For the record, we believe that the Phillies' general manager was being coy. It's in the ...
The Phillies were left for dead as the
ninth inning approached at Shea Stadium Tuesday night. But
something funny went down — the Phils won. Down 5-2 in the ninth, the Phils rattled off five hits, including two crucial two-run doubles, en route ...
I’ll have many lasting memories from last night’s
game; So Taguchi’s pinch-hit, 2 run double to tie
it, Pat Burrell & Jayson Werth’s sniping of Endy Chavez at the plate, Chase laying out to save 2 runs in the 7th, and ...
