4 games swept from the New York Metropolitans.
3 amazing late-inning finishes.
2 games out of the division lead.
1 month left to go in another tense pennant race.
There were lots of heroes in this series from Ryan Howard to Jayson Werth. But it was particularly sweet seeing Jimmy Rollins set the pace for the Team to Beat, going 9 for 19 with 2 HR, 3 RBI, and a ludicrous 1.421 OPS. Honestly, I can't recall a recent season where Jimmy has been so underrated. Considering his world-class defense at a middle infield position and his cool, confident leadership, is it blasphemous to suggest that J-Roll might be just as deserving of MVP honors as Chase Utley?
Great picture (un-saveable) of Tad Iguchi at the official website. Bring on those Teal Bastards!
