The scoop courtesy of Inqy-blogger, Todd Zolecki:
What happened to Jimmy Rollins today?
He got benched.
He hit a pop fly into shallow left field with two outs and a runner on second in the third inning this afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. Reds shortstop Paul Janish dropped the ball to allow Carlos Ruiz to score from second. Rollins only got to first. He easily should have been on second.
Rollins took the field in the top of the fourth inning, but was gone by the top of the fifth.

Don’t fuck with Paul Hagen or he’ll burn down your god-damned building… or put strychnine in the guacamole.

Paul Hagen aquires all of his sports knowledge by listening to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.

Meech, you’re an effin genius. Better give Hagen a slice of the birthday cake.

Paul Hagen believes you have his red Swingline stapler.

If Von Vayes would have let his hair grow longer, he easily could have been Lumberg.

If I would type with my fingers and not by smashing my face off the keyboard, I easily could have spelled Von Hayes.

I have to say I’m impressed with your face-smashing abilities on the keyboard.
