Jimmy Rollins Bad Batting Slump...

... Appears to be Over with the Sweep of the Mets



We wonder whether we could have lived through what Jimmy’s experienced. But now he’s hitting, and hitting well, including a solo home run early in the third winning home game against the Mets, pitched masterfully by Joe Blanton and the gang. With a lovely little save by Brad Lidge, but of course.

And looking forward to the All-Star Game, whose National League Team will be managed by our Genius-In-Residence Charley Manuel, but of course! Then there’ll be Second Baseman Chase Utley and Left Fielder Raul Ibanez. Utley got all of his votes because he’s so smart and such a good hitter and fielder, and be-cause he’s a home-grown guy. Ibanez got some of his votes, let’s face it, because he’s a Phillie now and exhibited his marvelous skills this year within the wonderful Phillies firmament.
