How the Rockies can beat the Phillies: Sit Franklin Morales

Franklin Morales.​Today's Denver Post quotes relief pitcher Franklin Morales as saying he's "ready" for the Philadelphia Phillies -- and the use of quotes in the headline suggests some appropriate editorializing on the part of the Post sports staff.
