rollins injured

In the first inning of last night's game in Pittsburgh, Jimmy Rollins hit a foul ball off his right knee and had to beg out in the third. I pretty much gave up on the game at that point. Charlie Morton of the Pirates did his best Roy Halladay imitation and the Phillies put on their usual PNC Park performance, in front of the largest-ever crowd in the history of the park. Credit the crowd to a combination of a large influx of Philadelphia fans and postgame fireworks. The Phillies lost 6-3, with the bases loaded in the ninth. Salvage time today with the 'real deal' on the mound. Rollins is out and, for now, day-to-day.

I saw the sweet sign above at an intersection yesterday on my way to the Mennonite food store in Dryville. Even in miniature, there's something about a turquoise vintage car.
