]]> Here’s a quick recap of recent events in the City of Brotherly Love:

  1. Shortstop Jimmy Rollins claims that the Phillies are the team to beat in the National League East.
  2. Manager Charlie Manuel has a nice little chat with a member of the sports media.
  3. Manuel moves right-hander Brett Myers to the bullpen. Myers, you may recall, has been one of the Phillies’ best starters over the past couple seasons.

Meanwhile, the Phillies find themselves looking up at the Washington Nationals, a team expected by some to challenge the New York Mets’ record-setting 120-loss season back in ‘62. Honestly, when Antonio Alfonseca is your most effective pitcher, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate the situation a little.
