In case you hadn't already noticed, we have a new sportswriter on staff here at Phillyist: Mike Muller. Mike spends his days working at a local law firm while he prepares to start law school himself. He also enjoys guacamole. Welcome, Mike! Mark Antony came to bury Caesar, not to praise him. Today, we’re doing the exact opposite for Jimmy Rollins. By now everyone has heard the comments made last week on The Best Damn......

Rumor has it that a certain Philadelphia personality accused of sticking his nose where it didn't belong was doing it not out of professional jealousy, but romantic jealousy. If this is true, and Phillyist is not saying that it is, the scandal makes a lot more sense.......
