At least Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino are taking Friday night's loss in stride. Shane Victorino wasted no time hitting the golf course on Saturday to try and get away from the reality that the Phillies season ended too soon.

Some Phillies fans, like DelcoNate, couldn't deal with the same reality and wanted Jimmy and Shane to know that some angry fans didn't want to hear about their golf game!

You can never fault J-Roll for keeping it real. Hard not to love that guy.

If you're looking for some interesting Phillies reading that isn't about this season's meltdown exactly, the Daily News' David Murphy takes a lengthy look at Rollins' legacy in Philadelphia. Worth it alone for some of the Doug Glanville anecdotes from Jimmy's early days with the Phils.
