New rivalry? I like it.
The regular season hasn't even begun, and a new rivalry is already budding in the NL East. It's too bad the Twins, White Sox, or Yankees aren't involved. I'm actually going to be forced to talk trash about another team!
It all started way back in January, when Jimmy Rollins boldly predicted that his Philadelphia Phillies were the "team to beat" in the NL East. Team to beat? In January. The Phillies hadn't even begun their Spring Training! How can he make such a claim when the Phillies haven't made the playoffs since 1993? The Mets are the hottest team in the National League, and before last year, the Braves won over 10 straight divisional titles. And THE PHILLIES are the team to beat?
My man David Wright told it like it is: “The Phillies, they can come out and talk as much as they want. Until they prove it on the field, then it’s just talk. As far as throwing out predictions and talking about it, talk is very, very cheap.”
I hate Philly fans. And I can't wait until the Mets home opener on April 9th, when we can shut Rollins and the rest of the Phillies squad for good.
