My favorite episode of “Community” is season three’s “Remedial Chaos Theory,” in which six realities are presented, each contingent on one friend’s removal from a housewarming party to pay for pizza. The idea is to show how a close group of people interact when you take someone out of the equation; or, to show one person’s impact on the group structure. If you haven’t ever watched this episode, do seek it out, as it’s funny, scary, hilarious and sadly touching, all at the same time.
Now imagine a cohort of recent and current Phillies shortstops – Jimmy Rollins, Michael Martinez, John McDonald, Cesar Hernandez and Freddy Galvis.
