Rowand out 4-6 Weeks
With a broken ankle.
That has to help our chances of fending off the Phils.

Re: Rowand out 4-6 Weeks
Were they already playing Victorino full time? If not, he's as good Rowand...

Re: Rowand out 4-6 Weeks
The way he landed he's lucky a broken ankle is all he had. You hate to see a player get hurt, but when you're in a race you take all the help that comes your way.

Re: Rowand out 4-6 Weeks
After watching the collision, I am suprised that Chase Utley isn't also due for a trip to the bench. I can imagine that was one scary moment for all Phillies fans...

Rarely do you see an outfielder's glove fly off his hand--with the ball still resting inside the mitt. That's how forceful the Phillies collision was....

Re: Rowand out 4-6 Weeks
Aaron Rowand is the unsafe/unlucky version of Ryan Freel.
Great effort by the guy, but I'm surprised Rowand hasn't killed himself by now. First the OF wall, now completely locking on a ball that Utley had viciously called. I know players get tunnel vision to go after the ball, but wow. Rowand's lucky to be alive. |

Re: Rowand out 4-6 Weeks
That doesn't help the Phillies cause.
Of course, them being sellers was supposed to indicate that they wouldn't make a run...
