It’s own to beer town for the Phillies, but all the talk today has been about what happened yesterday in Miami.
On a routine grounder to shortstop, Jimmy Rollins completely dogged it and was thrown out by 20 feet. It’s one of the lapses in judgement we’ve seen from Rollins over his tenure here in Philly. It did not go unnoticed as fans went at him on twitter and gave him the business he probably deserved. Do you think he deserved it?
How about we get Cliff Lee his 3rd win of the year? How many will he end up with?
Lineup: Rollins SS, Pierre LF, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Brown RF, Nix CF, Frandsen 3B, Kratz C, Lee P
GAMEDAY BEER:
Yuengling Lager
You know it, and you know it well. You call for it simply by saying “I’ll have a lager.” It’s a staple of the Philadelphia region and really never lets you down. From time to time I’ll order one if a beer list isn’t tickling my fancy. It’s just there. It never wows you. It’s like the Juan Pierre of beers. He won’t blow you away, doesn’t hit for power, but always gives a decent showing when you need him. -Pat Gallen
