 Phillies bench Rollins after MVP shows up late
Phillies bench Rollins after MVP shows up late
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.

TARDY ROLLINS BENCHED BY MANUEL
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...

 Philadelphia Phillies - MVP Attitude
Philadelphia Phillies - MVP Attitude
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 ...

 Phillies can't overcome Perez's pitching, Rollins' benching, fall into second place
Phillies can't overcome Perez's pitching, Rollins' benching, fall into second place
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...

I'm sorry, what? The Marlins like playing in front of no one?
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

 Jose Reyes must read my blog
Jose Reyes must read my blog
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.

 Myers Struggles In Return; Phils Still Eyeing Burnett?
Myers Struggles In Return; Phils Still Eyeing Burnett?
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.

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 ...

The other Brett Myers
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.”
