Earlier today, the interwebs, this site included, were a-flutter over the news that Chase Utley was injured. Ah-ha! An explanation for his slump!
However, in a phone call with CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury, Phillies GM Ruben Amaro dispelled the notion that Utley is hurt and blew Lopes cover story with his mother, stating "Davy Lopes is not a doctor." Great, now Mrs. Lopes will find out that her son has been wearing a baseball uniform all this time and not a unique set of surgical scrubs.
In all seriousness, Amaro came down pretty hard on Lopes for talking about Utley's knee. But Amaro did admit that Utley's knee has been sore, which while it might not be an official full-fledged injury, Amaro should admit soreness is something that could be something that could hamper Utley's play.
