Jimmy Rollins in April Men's Journal
The April issue of Men's Journal is reportedly on stands today and features on interview with Young James. The Inqy has an excerpt of the interview.
MJ: Are the Phils still the team to beat in '08?
Rollins: 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.
Sign me up, Jim. Sign me up.

It's getting close to time for J-Roll to pull back on the reigns just a little bit... confidence is starting to border cockiness.

Plus no matter how good j-roll plays, we still have this "pitching staff" to lose game after game for us

Gaze--I agree.
I like confidence, but this team does not deserve a swagger--yet. The offense may give a little shimmy, the defense may too, but the pitching brings it all back to earth.

Jimmy, to quote a popular beer commercial, "You have got some brass, son."
