Jimmy Buffet's "Cheeseburger in Paradise" was played between innings. The sun has poked through and there's just a little hint of a breeze. Makes you recall that other Buffet song: "The weather is here, wish you were beautiful."
Jimmy Rollins just made a wonderful play on a grounder hit in the hole. He fielded the ball on a backhand and -- with his feet barely set -- fired a laser to get Belliard by a step. Daily News columnist Bill Conlin remarked several weeks ago how accurate Rollins' throws are to first base. It's rare that Ryan Howard has to make a play to bail him out. Never really noticed it until Bill mentioned it.
Eaton gets a needed 1-2-3 inning. Maybe the Phils, who will send up the top of the order, get something going in the bottom half of the inning.

On a semi-related note re: Howard playing 1st base, is it just me or does he never actually stand on the bag when a pitcher throws to him on a pickoff attempt? He seems to always be standing far enough away from the base, usually towards home plate or the pitcher's mound, that the runner cannot be picked off.
