Is this guy crazy? This .250 hitter needs to just shut up. The Phillies are a bunch of trash talking fools. Would you ever hear a Yankee ever predict an outcome? NEVER
The Phils may win this series, but in 5? Give me a break.
Welcome to the Bronx, Phillies, you won't be playing the Mets here, you will be playing the real team in NY.
All these analysts say that pitching wins, the Yankees have a better rotation and bullpen. The Phils BARELY have an edge with their offense.
This is the REAL stage Philadelphia, you aren't playing the Rockies, the Dodgers or any other crappy NL team or the Tampa Rays that you played last year.
Let's Go Yankees!

Jimmy Rollins predicts Philadelphia Phillies in five; NY Yankees react with yawns

Associated PressJimmy Rollins made a bold prediction on network TV about the outcome of the World Series.It took nearly a full day, but we have our first bit of World Series trash talking. And it comes from -- who else? -- Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins.
Rollins, appearing on The Jay Leno Show on Monday night, was asked to give his prediction in the series and, of course, he couldn't resist.
"Of course, we're gonna win," Rollins told Leno. "If we're nice, we'll let it go six, but I'm thinking five, close it out at home."
News of the boast somehow failed to create much of a buzz in the morning tabloids, perhaps because nobody watches Leno any more. Still, the Yankees players were asked about the prediction during their media session.
The general response: Zzzzzz.
"I couldn't care less about what he says, basically, because that's not what's going to happen," closer Mariano Rivera said.
"What he says and what's going to happen is far from that. You know what I mean? I wouldn't expect nothing less coming from. We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens."
Rivera wasn't firing back. Just shrugging it off as a non-story -- which, giving Rollins' chatty history, is what it is.
"What do you think I'm going to say if I talk about my team?" he said. "That we're going to lose? No. But that doesn't mean it's going to happen."
