Rollins finally getting back into swing
During the Phillies' last homestand, shortstop Jimmy Rollins' season-long hitting struggles led manager Charlie Manuel to observe that his long-time leadoff hitter's failures were simple to encapsulate: Rollins was hitting only one ball hard every game.

MLB Debate: Instant replay and Bud Selig, Jimmy Rollins paternity leave and the dark horses
We hope you all had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. The holiday marks the unofficial start to summer, and what says summer better than baseball? Commissioner Bud Selig recently said he doesn’t think more video replay is needed in baseball, although trapped balls, fair/foul calls, and fan interference may be added in 2013 if the players’ and umpires’ unions agree. What...

For Cliff Lee, the bad luck continues. But for the Phillies, failing in a situation once meant taking another crack at it later. The second time around, they delivered the run they needed. The next time, they put...

Report: Phillies' Jimmy Rollins About to Be a Daddy as Wife Johari Goes Into Labor
The website iPhillyChitChat.com reports that Jimmy Rollins just "ran out of a party in his honor" because his wife Johari just went into labor.

Philadelphia Phillies storyline: core value
Cliff Lee selected the Philadelphia Phillies for another reason besides the ones he stated. Jonathan Papelbon felt the same way and Doc Halladay desired a trade here. What they notice and understand is normal to them, and they think everybody sees their obvious.

Philadelphia Phillies storyline: the gallows of expectation
Jimmy Rollins of the Philadelphia Phillies knows that mentality better than most. Boston is ready to purchase Bobby Valentine a ticket for the Big Apple. Cholley Manuel, like the fans, is frustrated, but how long will it be before the natives demand his head?
