| Breaking News | | Monday, August 18th, 2008: Philadelphia's Rollins Injured
The Philadelphia Phillies will lose the services of shortstop Jimmy Rollins after he sustained a damaged meniscus while colliding with a player at a base in today's game against the New York (N) Mets. When asked about the injury, he took a philosophical approach. "Worse things can happen in life," Rollins said. "The key now is to stay positive." His trainer said he is expected to be sidelined for the next 4 weeks.
Currently Rollins is batting .289 with 145 hits and 20 home runs. He has knocked in 83 runs and scored 76 times. |

| Wednesday, June 18th, 2008: Hamels Holds Mets Scoreless
The New York (N) Mets met their match today in Philadelphia hurler Cole Hamels. He kept them guessing the whole game and spun a 5-hit shutout.
"He just worked us over," the New York (N) skipper said. "He probably didn't even take a shower after the game. I don't think he even worked up a sweat. They could probably pitch him again tomorrow."
In the 4-0 victory Hamels whiffed 8 and gave up 1 walk.
Hamels has started 14 times this year, pitched 87 innings, fanned 91 batters and walked 17. His current record is 7 wins and 1 loss with a 3.62 ERA.
