#10... March Madness for MLB
Jimmy Rollins said some weeks ago that the "Phillies were the team to best in the NL East".
Now, Chipper on Rollins:
Take 1 (Interview by Martin Gandy)
I will never disrespect the other teams in our division by saying that; by guaranteeing some kind of division title or anything like that - that's stupidity. I think we will be a force to be reckoned with in the East.
Take 2 (NYT article.. good one!)
"That's the difference in the mentality in Atlanta and the mentality in Philadelphia," Chipper Jones, the Braves' leader, said when asked about Rollins's remark. "We would have never disrespected the rest of the division by proclaiming ourselves division champs before the beginning of the season. The fact that he did, that has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. As far as I can remember, I don't think he has ever won a division. We'll leave it at that."
“We’ll stay quiet and do our own thing,” Jones said, “and we’ll see who’s standing at the top in September.”
In other BB news, this is quite shocking: Former Pitcher Ugueth Urbina Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison The story goes he found some workers using his property (a pool area), when he arrived unannounced to his ranch in Venezuela. He poured gasoline on them and set them on fire (this is only good when proposed by the bandStars), and attacked them with a machete...... again GEEZZZZZZZZZ, last time i was MLB-shocked was when John Rocket made those hellish comments!
P.S. Francoeur=Grand Slam vs the Mets on the first inning today! Braves 8, Mets 3
