Shane Victorino, peacemaker

Fightin' Phils? Not this time.

Phillies centerfielder Shane Victorino helped defuse a potentially nasty situation outside of the Rittenhouse Square bistro Rouge Thursday night.

A bystander who asked for anonymity said two groups of patrons -- regulars and some folks unfamiliar to Rouge staff -- were exchanging nasty words inside the restaurant, near a table occupied by Victorino and a group of his friends.

Victorino, who's listed as 5-foot-9, noticed tempers growing more frayed as they all stepped outside. He joined the combatants on the sidewalk, telling them to knock it off.

    Peters is injured. Maybe Shane can protect Kolb's blind side?

    It's so easy to root for these guys, so opposite of what you hear of most teams. I just hope some whacko doesn't try to prove his toughness and hurt him. Shane's also the guy that went into harm's way to help a groundskeeper in Colorado, so this is no surprise.

    Shane's also
