Philadelphia center Aaron Rowand will miss the rest of the season after suffering a broken ankle after colliding with teammate Chase Utley while Utley tried to catch a short fly ball off the bat of the Cubs John Mabry. (Mabry ended up with a triple.)
The Phillies are 62-62 and 2 1/2 games behind Cincinnati for the NL wild card.
Huh. His ankle is the last thing I would've thought he'd injured after watching the collision. I was more worried that he could've broken his neck the way he landed on his head. They say Philly's a tough town to play baseball in, but Rowand's seems to have taken it to extremes this season.
True, but the best part of this injury is how CHASE!! UTLEYYYY!!!!! single handedly solved our surplus OF problem. Now if only he could somehow take out Abe Nunez...
