After splitting the first two game of their season-opening series down in Texas, the Phils will try to get out of the Lone Star State with a winning record as they battle the Rangers again on Wednesday night.
He didn't fly with the team, but Jimmy Rollins will be in Texas and in the lineup for the Phillies Opening Day game against the Rangers.
The omens came the first day of Spring Training, when Phils' ace Cole Hamels opened by announcing he had biceps tendinitis and was behind schedule. That was followed by the supposed rift between Jimmy Rollins and manager Ryne Sandberg, a collective team hitting slump, and then for good measure, throw in some MRSA, which Freddy Galvis contracted.

The rumors have been swirling over the last several weeks regarding potential trades of Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson, and Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins.
