rollins and hamels chase the clouds

A flyover at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, PA, one day this season.

On Friday night while Ike was getting ready to trash Texas, rain was washing games out in the Northeast and forcing a weekend loaded with doubleheaders. The Phillies and Brewers ultimately chose to stay with one game for Saturday and play two today. Weather is once again changing the complexion of a series.

When Jimmy Rollins scores, the Phillies are 37-14. J-Roll got it going early yesterday and finished just a triple shy of the cycle in the 7-3 win over the Brewers. Cole Hamels rebounded from his bad outing on Sunday against the Mets, giving up just two runs on six hits. At the top of the order, Rollins, Utley, Werth, and Howard had 7 hits and 6 RBI and scored 6 runs.
