The biggest winner of the weekend was not Justin Rose, or even venerable Merion. It might have been the Phillies. Or at least the luckiest.
The arrival of the U.S. Open at Merion for the week took the Phils out of the spotlight - and it's a good thing.
Their road trip was a disaster. They fell again yesterday in Colorado, with Cole Hamels repeating his sad story from this lamentable season. He pitched well - just not well enough - and got almost no support.
Summer starts this week, and Ruben Amaro needs to take a serious look at this roster and determine if he wants to be a buyer or seller. Based on that road trip, count me as a vote for backing up the truck and starting over.
