Bonus: Ah, memories...

The being first by being second playing third theory was so perfect. I don't know where it went wrong.

They were arguing on 97.5 earlier if Roy Halladay or Jimmy Rollins was the most indispensable member of the team, as if those were the only two choices.

Does the likelihood that Rollins will go to the fifteen day DL make the Polanco signing look even better? It does to me. However, I'm probably influenced by Polanco's offensive performance so far, which has to be exceeding everyone's expectations at this point.

How bad is that? What's better, a 1 or a 2? Where's HillMD when you need him?

Kinda neat how she went for the phonetic spelling of how our man Chuck sounded.

Charlie was so mad at him for being late that he tore his calf with his own hands

Will Carroll says:

Jimmy Rollins (strained calf, ERD 5/20)
Jayson Werth (strained hip flexor, ERD 4/16)
The Phillies have enough talent to survive the loss of one of their stars, but two? That could be the question facing the team in the near-term as both Rollins and Werth have injuries. Rollins is more pressing and serious, a Grade II gastrocnemius (calf) strain that was diagnosed quickly on the field. The confirming diagnosis was made after an MRI, one that took place Tuesday. While the Phillies did not announce the results or a DL move, there's almost no chance that there's new information. Strains, especially of this sort are very easy to diagnose and grade with simple manual tests. Much of Philly panicked upon seeing Rollins in a soft cast, hobbling into his MRI. It's a painful injury and the Phillies are bound to be careful with their shortstop, so there's nothing to glean from that shot. Expect Rollins to be out through the back end of the two-to-four week timeframe that's been put up. The situation is a bit less clear for Werth: he has what the team is saying is a mild hip flexor strain, but there are whispers that there's something more serious. The team did hide the severity of Chase Utley's hip injury, but remember that he also played through it. There's no reason to believe the rumors, but it's worth keeping in the back of your head in case we get more info or if Werth stays out more than a couple days.

Bright side would be he gets the surgery now and comes back in time for playoffs but still manages to lessen offseason value enough for Phillies to re-sign him. Meanwhile they can see what Brown has over an extended period of time which could then allow them to move Ibanez this offseason.

Of course, the injury is probably nothing. :wink:

Moving Ibanez requires a trading partner, and even then we'll still be eating his salary with a shovel.

I seriously can't get over how awesome that CD piece on Costanzo is.

Playing for a very talented offensive club that included such prospects as Welinson Baez, Clay Harris, Jeremy Slayden, Lou Marson and Julian Williams, Costanzo, Jr. began to display the power bat that scouts raved about throughout his college career.

He's so consistently wrong, he could be Omar Minaya ghostwriting.
