Ankle bothered Phillies; Phillies bothered Reyes
My apologies for not blogging until now. Hope the coverage in the paper held you over. Jimmy Rollins just addressed the media for the first time since spring training and admitted that the ankle he sprained early in the season bothered him throughout the year, even into the playoffs. "The ankle really probably didn't stop bothering me until December," Rollins said. "(I would) do a couple things, then you hear it pop a couple times, and you are like, 'Oooh,' But it was the scar tissue tearing, and it's something that needed to be happening. Coming into the playoffs, there were a couple of times that I was on first base and I was talking to Prince [Fielder] and I was like, 'Man it feels like my Achilles is going to go.' But it's going to have to blow for me to come out this game. It finally loosened up, so it feels good now.'" ^ I'm sure by now you've read Jose Reyes' comments to New York reporters at Mets camp in Port St. Lucie. Specifically, he took umbrage with the Phillies' suggestion that Reyes "pimps" his home runs too much. Last year, some merry Phillie pranksters jokingly put Reyes' name above Victorino's locker after he hit a home run and pumped his fist. "I heard that," Reyes said, as reported by the New York Post. "I don’t know why they said that because I’m not the only when I hit a home run that I ‘pimp’ it. A lot of people do that. A lot of people from Philadelphia too. They stand there for a couple seconds and nobody say nothing. I don’t know why the Phillies focus so much on the New York Mets. We just worry about us. "I don’t know why they always focus on us. They are the ones to win the World Series. We don’t say nothing about them. We just say congratulations to the Phillies. They always say something about us and we don’t even focus on them. We focus on them when we play against them.

I'm sure by now you've read Jose Reyes' comments to New York reporters at Mets camp in Port St. Lucie.

"I heard that," Reyes said, as reported by the New York Post. "I don’t know why they said that because I’m not the only when I hit a home run that I ‘pimp’ it. A lot of people do that. A lot of people from Philadelphia too. They stand there for a couple seconds and nobody say nothing. I don’t know why the Phillies focus so much on the New York Mets. We just worry about us.

"We don’t worry about the Phillies – we focus about the New York Mets," Reyes said. "They have to be happy because they win the World Series. Why do they focus on us? What did we do to them? If they don’t like us, that’s OK."

This guy is such a loser. Yeah, no one on the Mets pays attention to the Phils. Then why is Reyes talking about them? Or Beltran? Or K-Rod? Or Church?— monty142- Comment removed.
- WAAAAAH! I can't wait to stomp the Mets a new mud hole....again— ematusko

- Keep raising your arm like you won the world series in the 1st inning in game number 24 of the season— sawgrass
- Nobody on the Phillies who hits a HR returns to the dugout and goes straight into a 15 minute, well choreographed dance, that would make the Timberlake look like the Flyers' Dancing Guy, Jose.— Florida Frank
- Man the Melts sound like a bunch of girls. Will they play in League of their Own skirt unis at Sch-iti Field?— ChekUrFax
- Well who else are we going to talk about. They are in our division we are always battling them at the end of the year so it makes sense to talk about them.— cusoraider
- Who is Jose Reyes ???— mick314
- The only reason there is even a hint of bad blood on either side is because for the first time in a while, we are both GOOD ballclubs at the same time, starting 3 seasons ago. Pretty soon we'll have to start hating the braves again! And didn't the Nats pick up a couple of good players this off-season? (Oh great, here comes that old paranoia again.)— TBear
