N.Y. Observer: Megdal: It Was Jimmy Rollins … In the Stadium … With a Bat

and remember...the object of the baseball game is still to be the first to make the correct accusation.

It’s early, Rollins pointed out. “The fans remember everything,” Rollins said. “They remember things from 1950-something. It’s just one game, and we have a lot more to play.”

But if the Mets keep playing like it’s September 2007, the number of games is irrelevant. So Jimmy, have you killed the Mets?

“I never count them out,” Rollins said. “If you do count them out, you’re overconfident or not too smart.”

He added, “Last year, I said what I said. This year, I’ll play and let them do the talking.”

Deadly stuff.
