Don't anger the squirrel...

Jimmy Rollins confirmed after Thursday's game that he was benched for not running out a popup. "He’s the manager and that’s what he had to do," Rollins said. "He has two rules: Be on time and hustle. I broke one today. It’s my fault. I can’t be mad at him." Charlie Manuel, with a mouthful of squirrel jerky, didn't comment after the game, but it seems likely that Rollins will be back in there on Friday.
