Phils hold team meeting

Following Thursday's disaster in New York - anyone realize this team would have got swept if it wasn't for Tuesday's night's crazy comeback? - the Phillies held a behind-closed-doors team meeting at their first game back at Citizens Bank Park since the All-Star break.

Charlie Manuel was the only one to talk.

He said the meeting wasn't related to Jimmy Rollins, who was benched for showing to the park late yesterday. It was more about wanting the team to begin to get the "kick" back into their game, the "resiliency."

It says here that energy begins with Rollins, who sparked the team for much of the summer of 2008.

Rollins declined to talk after the meeting, only saying: "when the doors are closed, that meeting stays in here."
