Phillies' Jimmy Rollins Picks Up Career Hit 2,000

Found September 04, 2012 on Philliedelphia: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jimmy Rollins
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies,  New York Mets
Mlb_jun_04_adaf
In the 5th inning of Tuesday night's game, Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins reached another milestone in his career. Rollins doubled down the right field line, picking up number 2,000.  Rollins is behind just three Phillies all-time and may have a shot to be the all-time Phillies hits leader, should he finish his current contract with the Phillies and avoid injury.   Currently ahead of Rollins is Mike Schmidt with 2,234 hits, Richie Ashburn with 2,217 hits, and Ed Delahanty with 2,207. Rollins is also chasing a number of other Phillies all-time records. Jimmy Rollins has had a tumultuous week, getting benched for failing to hustle in a game against the New York Mets last week and it drew the ire of the fans. But, when it's all said and done, Rollins should have a very special place in Phillies history.  Our follower (whom we all follow) Billy had an interesting question: What do you think it should be?

The Phillies’ September Call-Up? Pete Orr

Via Phillies Nation  |  September 03, 2012
The gust of wind felt across the Delaware Valley today was not brought upon by any Labor Day storm or cold front. The wind instead was the collective sighs and exhales from Phillies’ fans who wanted to see the man they called #BabeRuf on Twitter in red and white pin stripes before the end of the year. “Ruf Riders” were disappointed today as the Phillies added infielder Pete...

Finding protection for Ryan Howard might not be all that Ruf

Via Philly Sports World  |  September 04, 2012
Protecting Howard, is Ruf the guy? With the call-up of Darin Ruf what can we expect from him and how many opportunities will he get from Charlie Manuel? I for one am anxious to see if he can bring the same power to the majors that he has exhibited this season in Reading. Breaking Ryan Howards home run record certainly gets you noticed and also noticed by the fans. Ruf’s 38 home...

Unnatural Things: The Phillies Blow a 6-Run Lead

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  September 03, 2012
One out away from sweeping the Braves, the Phillies blew it in the 9th last night. One lousy out and closer Jonathan Papelbon could not get it done. Worse, the Phillies allowed a 6 run lead to slip away in a game they should have won. Instead, the 8-7 walk-off loss may haunt the Phillies for some time to come. There are certain things in life, and in baseball, that should just never...

Pregame: Kendrick Seeks 5th Straight W

  The veteran pitchers all took Labor Day off yesterday as the youth movement of Tyler Cloyd, Justin De Fratus, and Phillippe Aumont fought off the Reds in a 4-2 win. It was kind of nice seeing some of the hyped up pitchers getting thrown into the pool to sink or swim, especially Aumont who had to dial up a save in his fourth game in the bigs. Very clutch. Tonight, Kyle Kendrick...

Phillies double up the Redlegs, 4-2

Via Redlegs Review  |  September 03, 2012
