Sept. 2 -- PLAY BALL

It's still raining (OK, drizzling lightly) here at Citizens Bank Park, but the Phils and Braves are about to start Game 1 of their day-night doubleheader. Ordinarily, I don't think the teams would play on a day like today, but, with time running short in the season and the Phillies vying for the NL wild card, they have to get these games in some time.

News from the Phils clubhouse:

* Randall Simon has arrived. Talked to him about his strange 2006 odyssey that began in Mexico. Also about the infamous sausage incident in Milwaukee. Say this for Simon, he's a good sport about it.

* Aaron Rowand stopped by today. His left foot is in a cast, but he's still hoping to be available to play if the Phillies reach the postseason.

All of that will be in Sunday's News Journal. Also, check back for more news as the day goes on.
