Rowand out 4-6 Weeks

[Joseph]

With a broken ankle.

That has to help our chances of fending off the Phils.

Were they already playing Victorino full time? If not, he's as good Rowand...

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.

No, S.V. was coming off the bench & playing on starter's off days, but is now the full-time CF replacement.

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...

when i saw the replay i thought for sure he broke his neck... that had to be the scariest hit i have seen.. everytime they played it back i cringed..:eek:

that had to be the scariest hit i have seen..

I guess you didn't see the one in San Diego last year between Carlos Beltran & Mike Cameron..

I guess you didn't see the one in San Diego last year between Carlos Beltran & Mike Cameron..I saw them both. While the Beltran/Cameron collision was more serious due to the head knocking, the Utley/Rowand smashup has to be in the discussion.

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....

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.

That doesn't help the Phillies cause.


Of course, them being sellers was supposed to indicate that they wouldn't make a run...
