Rollins On DL

Well after two weeks of watching SS Jimmy Rollins limp around the clubhouse and limp out to the batters box in feeble attempts at pinchhitting, club management finally made the long overdue decision to place him on the 15 Day DL. This is exactly what should have happened in the first couple days after the injury instead of two weeks later. So we can chalk this one up as an idiotic and cowardly move by the Phillies Training Staff and Manager Charlie Manuel. They should have known that JRoll is the kind of player that will try to play no matter how injured he is and not trusted his opinion of the injury. That's what they get for...to make tough decisions about the health of the players. Because of their complete ineptitude, Jroll will now miss at least another two weeks of the season at a time where the Mets seem to be slowly pulling away with the NL East lead. Way to go Uncle Charlie!!!

Now that my rant is over I should mention that OF Chris Snelling was also placed on the DL today and that SS Brad Harmon was called up from AA to take Rollins roster spot and OF T.J. Boh was recalled from AAA to replace Snelling.
