These last two games have proven how much Jimmy Rollins means to this team. We have to replace a guy that does everything with a guy who does nothing in Bruntlett. His errors have cost this team runs in the field, and his bad bat in all aspects of hitting have cost us runs at the plate. Jimmy can't come back soon enough.

Myers has to stop dicking around on the mound, like he said he's been doing this year. Is this why this team gets off to slow starts? They don't realize how much they have to step up their games and how much effort they have to put in to win when things start to count? Myers better show he has something extra tonight. The last two starts have been bad, and fans are already starting to get antsy.
