That's what I'm saying. When you win a championship, you just don't win a ring or a trophy. You win bragging rights. And have thoserights until someone takes that away from us.

Same as every year since 2000. I'm used to it. No big deal.
And I don't claim all these Yankee fans talking crazy.

I wouldn't expect any less. Hell, we get it every year anyway. What would make this year any different? Everyone's at the edge of theirseat waiting for the Yankees to fail as usual.Originally Posted by af1 1982

In all honesty though, this is the most dislike I've felt for a group of rival fans on NT in a while.

[h1]Rollins picks Phils in 5 games - Yankees scoff[/h1] [h2]Philly SS makes bold move on Leno's show: 'Of course we're going to win'
[/h2]
[h2][/h2]
[h2]updated 9:01 p.m. ET, Tues., Oct . 27, 2009 [/h2]
NEW YORK - Jimmy Rollins has done pretty well making predictions. His latest is sure to rile up New York Yankees fans.
"Of course we're going to win," he said on "The Jay Leno Show" on Monday night, two days before Game 1 of the World Series. "If we're nice we'll let it go six (games), but I'm thinking five. Close it out at home."
The Yankees were not moved by Rollins' boast, dismissing the Philadelphia shortstop's comment Tuesday.
"He's been Nostradamus, that's what I heard," Yankees catcher Jorge Posada said. "He's been (making) a lot of good predictions, so we've got to take that away from him."
Earlier this season, Rollins forecast the Yankees and Phillies would meet in the Fall Classic this year.
"He predicted we'd play them in the World Series about seven years ago, too," Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter said. "You make enough predictions, I guess you'd be right most of the time, right?"
Most of the time. Try all of the time, so far.
Rollins got into the soothsaying business before the 2007 season when he exclaimed the Phillies, not the Mets, were the team to beat in the NL East. He backed it up with an MVP season as Philadelphia surged into first as New York collapsed.
And last year, Rollins said the Phillies would win 100 games. They got 92 of them in the regular season and 11 more in the playoffs en route to the World Series title.
Rollins' teammates are used to his swagger, and are not bothered by the bulletin board fodder.
"That's just Jimmy," Phillies slugger Ryan Howard said. "He loves that spotlight. He loves putting that type of - I guess I don't want to say pressure - but just putting that kind of attention on himself and on our team. Obviously, with those comments, you know here in Yankee Stadium, you know they're going to be all over him. And you know what? He wants that. He relishes that moment."
Then why didn't he go further a call for a sweep?
"I think it would be very tough to take four. You figure one game they're going to find a way to win," Rollins said during Tuesday's media session. "That's the way it is."
Teammate Chase Utley has his own plans for Rollins if he's right again.
"I think if this one sticks I think I'll take him to Vegas with me," Utley said.

I can definitely ride with that but not with cats acting like Philly is the only place where this happens.
It's not the ONLY place. But the perception is that it happens much more frequently in philly. when the giants recently won I didn't seevideos of morons climbing on street lights and even dumber people throwing bottle at their heads. people don't start looting in new york when we winsomething. maybe it's cus you guys don't win chips that much? I don't know. The idea that most philly fans are classeless people didn't comeout of nowhere and it's not a new idea either.

It should come as no surprise Jimmy likes to pick his team winning, not really a big deal.
He likes to be a target, $!*@ I'd probably do the same thing if I were in his position, makes the game more fun.

^ Mez ill give you that one im just surprised he did it on freaking Jay Leno. Its not like football where bulletin board material really matters but itsshocking to me. Actually Pedro's comments were more shocking Rollins just sounds like his fans.
