PLAYERS: Jimmy Rollins
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies

by Jeff FletcherFiled under: Phillies, MLB Playoffs, World SeriesNEW YORK -- This was not the type of World Series that the Phillies are going to spend much time replaying in their minds. Not long after they watched the Yankees celebrate on the field, taking the title that they won last year, the Phillies were already in full shoulder-shrug mode. Regrets? Not really. "They got the hits and we didn't," Jimmy Rollins said. "Simple. There's no science other than that. Get a hit or you don't. And they did."
