rollins is back!

Just off the DL, J-Roll got his first start in forever and boy did he look good, with a single, double, and homer in his return. I was about to fall asleep when he hit a 2-run homer to pull the Phillies within one. I did fall asleep after Pedro Feliz, booed in his return to the ballpark by the bay, tied it the next inning. After giving up 4 runs early, Hamels settled down and allowed only one hit the rest of the way. The Phillies went ahead in the 8th to win 7-4. Eric Bruntlett filled in admirably in Jimmy's absence but he's not J-Roll. For the first time in forever the Phillies look like the team we expected.
