Quote: Phillies Want It More
The Philadelphia Inquirer relays an interview Phillies SS Jimmy Rollins conducted for the April issue of Men’s Journal.
Rollins, when asked if the Phillies are still the team to beat in 2008, as quoted by Men’s Journal…
“That wasn’t a one-year thing. It’s still gonna ring true in 2008, and every year I’m with the Phillies. We’re going to win; it’s gonna come down to who wants it more, and we want to win more than the Mets do. Truthfully, I don’t worry about anybody in our division, or anybody in our league for that matter. I’m not worried about getting into the playoffs, because that part is accomplished. We’re a playoff team now. Our next goal is to win the World Series.”
…last season, when rollins originally declared that the Phillies were the team to beat, i thought it was major mistake - but you have to give him a ton of credit for backing up his statements and playing at an mvp level…however, these comments, in my opinion, are mostly made to fire up his team’s fan-base, than a direct shot at the Mets…that being said, i’m tired of all the talk, Carlos Beltran’s rebuttal included, let’s just play the games and see how this all plays out…if nothing else, it should be a fun season…
