If youre looking to point fingers, there are a number of underlying causes of last nights Phillies loss.
Cliff Lee surrendered a four-run lead. The home-plate umpires strike zone may have been a bit wonky. The Phils couldnt connect with the ball from the second inning to the seventh.
But shortstop Jimmy Rollins has some finger-pointing hed like to do toand his index fingers angled straight at the fans who attended last nights game.
A record-setting crowd of 46,575 packed Citizens Bank Park, but from Rollins perspective, the seats might as well have been half-vacant. After all, Rollins tweeted, fans were waaay too quiet:
