I know a lot has been said about Jimmy Rollins and his predictions, but this should not shock anyone. The fact is he has been running his mouth off since 2006. I am sure Mets fans remember his comments before the 2007 season when he claimed the Phillies were the team to beat, not the Mets. Well, as painful as this is for me to say and as much as I wish it were not true,  everything Rollins has said out of that annoying mouth of his has rung true. The phillies have been the team to beat since 2007, and they are still the team to beat in regards to the World Series. 

What I am more surprised about is how people continue to compare the Benny Agbayani prediction against the Yankees in 2000 to this one. There are no real comparisons. Sure, both teams opponent is/was the Yankees, but that is where it ends. Jimmy Rollins has had one goal and that has been to win a championship. Benny Agbayani, was just a kid who I think was asking himself " What The Hell Am I Doing Here? ". The correct answer from Agbayani would have been , not sure, or I can't do that!!!

So, if the Phils indeed beat the Yanks in 5 or just beat them period, does this mean Jimmy Rollins can see into the future? So far his comments and predictions have been correct. Like him or not he has been right on target.

By the way, if you were wondering what happened to Agbayani, He played a few years ago in Japan where he was named MVP in the Championship series ( his manager was Bobby Valentine, go figure ).
