Jimmy Rollins is apparently in the lineup and able to play tonight. When he left the game, thousands of Phillies fans were immediately worried. He's irreplaceable at the plate and in the field. No one in the organization brings what he does, and it could've been a big loss. Dobbs might start at 3rd.

When you're facing the Mets, it would be great to have a second lefty in the bullpen. J.C. Romero might not be available to pitch all three games, when he could take advantage of most of their lineup. Pagan, Delgado, Church and Schneider are all lefty batters, and in most lineups Willie Randolph will pencil in this year, three to even four of them could be batting consecutively.
