Rollins FYI

[bleedtheblue]

From MLB.com:

Philling in: Shortstop Jimmy Rollins missed Thursday's game with a strained right hamstring, and Manuel said he'll probably sit out Friday's game as well. ... The Phillies decided to start Wolf in Sunday's double-header nightcap, and go with Madson in the opener. It will be Wolf's first start since June 11, 2005. His likely opponent will be RHP Brian Moehler.

uh oh, this is terrible news for a guy who has a lot of his value derived from SBs.

Rollins is not in the lineup today.

Anyone think Rollins will play tomorrow in either game of the Double Header?

[bleedtheblue]

I read (sorry no link as of yet) that he would possibly play the first game of the doubleheader.

Getting closer: Only an injury would keep Rollins from facing Willis.

That was the case for the third straight day, when Rollins' strained left hamstring felt better, but not good enough to play.

Hitting and running the bases don't bother Rollins as much as moving side-to-side, i.e., fielding.

"It's just side-to-side," he said. "The morning [after], I felt bad. The day after that, I felt 100 percent better. And the next day, I felt 100 percent than that. But it's not 100 percent, either. I just feel that much better. If I feel better [on Sunday], I might try to stretch it out. I can't get to some balls right now, and that hurts the team, because Abraham [Nunez] can."

not playing in game 1 of the doubleheader...hopefully he'll play in the 2nd...

UGH. Went from 1st to 4th this week, much thanks to Rollins and Chipper. I suppose the rest of my hitters not hitting *#@* isn't helping me either (Griffey, Giambi, Abreu, Hafner). Crappy week.
