TALK ABOUT wretched timing. The 2008 model Jimmy Rollins is a Rolls-Royce of a ballplayer with a missing spark plug. Looks good. But runs like a 1965 Chevy Corvair.
The wheels are coming off a Phillies team J-Roll predicted would win 100 games, and he's driving the bus. Hard to tell the tire tracks on his tongue from the footprints he added there during a "Best Damn Sports Show Period" appearance in Los Angeles last week. Rollins essentially blamed his underwhelming play and that of the catatonic Phillies' offense he is supposed to ignite on the fans. "Front-runners" was the mace that launched a thousand rips.

What's this about a broken lamp and pizza stain on the wall?
