Insight, observations (and whatever else comes to mind) on the trails of the team that ended the quarter century-long parade drought in the City of Brotherly Love - the Philadelphia Phillies.

J-Roll hurt - sprained left ankle; says he's "day to day"


It's only 5-2 here at Shea (Phillies winning) in the 8th, and Jimmy Rollins has been replaced by Eric Bruntlett.

Rollins has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain. No word on how long this will keep him out; once again, I'll update when I know.

He apparently hurt it on a pick-off play at second base in the top of the eighth. He stayed in the game and scored in the inning, but was removed when the team took the field in the bottom of the 8th.

After he scored, Rollins was taken back to the clubhouse by Phillies athletic trainer Scott Sheridan.

POSTGAME UPDATE: Jimmy say he's fine. He called himself "day to day" and didn't rule out playing on Wednesday night.

He also didn't appear to have too bad of a limp - he was walking around in street clothes afterward in the tunnel and actually looked fine.
