Ashley Fox wonders why Jimmy Rollins can’t seem to follow the two simple rules Charlie Manuel laid down for the team.
The Marlins may be missing Miguel Cabrera as they play the Cubs. Over the previous two seasons, Cabrera hit five home runs and drove in 15 runs in twelve games against Chicago. The Marlins were 10-2 against the Cubs in that time frame.
Chipper Jones is unlikely to play against the Phillies tonight. The Braves are 45-44 when Jones appears, 3-9 without him.
