NY, NY - Jimmy Rollins is not sorry about comments made before the 2007 MLB season started. "What do I have to be sorry about?" said Jimmy to a New York reporter after Monday's blow-out loss to the Mets. "Well, the comment made you look like sort of a silly ass-clown given the start you've had this season, Jimmy" retorted the reporter. Jimmy stared blankly into the reporter's eyes for several seconds, then started aimlessly rambling about how the Phillies needed to change their team colors to black on black because cherry red was a 'gay' color. When he snapped out of it, he said defensively, "Hey, we are still the team to beat, I said it before, and I'll say it again. It's early yet. We've got the best group of guys in the NL, maybe all of baseball...except for our bullpen".
After Jimmy was reminded of their 1-6 start, including a key error made by him and blowing a lead to the Mets on opening day at Shea, Jimmy went back to complaining about the team colors, adding that they need a better mascot. "What the hell is a Phillie anyway? I mean, is it a person, place, or thing? I'm on the team, and I can't tell you, that should say how stupid it is. I mean, who's going to be afraid of a Phillie anyway? We should be gangsters, or pirates, or...ooo ooo ooo, I know, BOOGEYMEN..." Jimmy continued talking to himself in the dugout, while the reporter quietly excused himself. An anonymous source claims that teammates Howard and Utley carried him back to the visitor's clubhouse while he was sucking his thumb in the fetal position several hours later.
