Jimmy Rollins News

For 371 days and over thousands of miles -- from spring training in Clearwater, Fla., through 18 cities across the majors, even during an afternoon in mid-May at the White House -- the Phillies were hailed as champions of baseball.

The man in the red Phillies cap and the red Phillies windbreaker moved like a mist through the visiting clubhouse at Yankee Stadium, for that is how John Middleton generally does things.

Go back to late March. Think about some of the things that had to go right for the Philadelphia Phillies to return to the World Series.

I'm still trying to figure out why I was so calm when we were down 3-0. Half of me wants to chalk it up to the fact I opted to not watch the game in my usual bar, and thereby removed the unavoidable alarmist sentiments dominating such a locale.

Charlie Manuel knows how quickly the window for success can close on a team. Manuel was the Cleveland Indians hitting coach from 1994-99, a span when the team seemed destined to reach great heights with sluggers like Jim Thome, Manny Ramirez and Albert Belle.

Manager Joe Girardi can say what he wants now. Jimmy Rollins talked the talk before the series, predicting that his Phillies would win in five games.

Go Phils! Thank you for a great season :) Posted at 9:32AM on Nov 5th 2009 by Nicole 2. The Phillies ROCK----who cares if they didn't win the World Series.

The Philadelphia Phillies are in a good position to make a trade, or sign a good free agent relief pitcher.

Crowds roared and church bells pealed in lower Manhattan on Friday as the Yankees' World Series championship celebration revved up with a ticker-tape parade.

Andy Pettitte pitched a scoreless first inning against the Phillies in Game 6. Times reporters David Waldstein, Tyler Kepner, Ben Shpigel, Jack Curry, George Vecsey, William C. Rhoden and Richard Sandomir are providing updates and analysis during Game 6 of the Yankees-Phillies World Series in the Bronx.

And if the stiff, shocked expressions in their clubhouse early Monday morning served as an indication, it also left the Fightins feeling as if they were not only getting figuratively mugged by the Bronx dwellers, but also getting their pockets picked by the city slickers.

There's always a reporter for the local newspaper of a championship team whose job it is to cover the opponent throughout the playoffs and into the World Series.

When these Phillies started to take their shape, it was said that these players had a chance to go down as the best the Phillies ever at their positions .

Hundreds of Yankees fans poured into the streets of New York early Thursday to celebrate the team's 27th World Series championship, a party that extended uptown and began building hours earlier when the crowd at Yankee Stadium danced and sang to the music even before the first pitch.Fans in Yankees jerseys and hats who watched the 7-3 victory over ...

Hideki Matsui drove in four runs with a two-run homer and two-run single off Pedro Martinez, and the New York Yankees led the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 after three innings in Game 6 on Wednesday night as they tried to wrap up their 27th championship.

Over the course of the first four games of the World Series the Yankees have conquered all but one of the Phillies star players.

Fans would like to believe that players can will themselves to greatness, particularly those infused with that most intangible quality: grit.

By Monday, Charlie Manuel probably wasn't having all that much fun at the World Series.

Chase Utley ripped a no-doubt-about-it shot to right, put his head down and ran around the bases so quickly he nearly passed Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino.

For a second, Charlie Manuel was lost. He was sitting in the visitors' dugout at Yankee Stadium before last night's game.
