In 2007 it was Jimmy Rollins.

In 2008, Carlos Beltran.

Now, in 2009, it's Francisco Rodriguez saying that his team is the "team to beat."

ARRRRGGGGHHH!

I hope this is the last go-round for this tired phrase!

As I said last year, I like it. It shows some swagger that the team has lacked in recent times.

Course the team hasn't shown much swagger two Septembers in a row, but it is nice to see that the players, especially newbies, are into the rivalry. Not as much as the fans of course, but it is there.

If he had said "I think we will win the division," it would have been run-of-the-mill first day of camp talk. Amazing how this TTB cliche has become charged with "controversy".

Nice to have a closer who says what he thinks for a change.

Anyone taking odds on when a "Sabe tu sitio, rook" sign goes up on F-Mart's locker?

BTW, Greg... pre-bought my copy Saturday. Do you know when Amazon's shipping FAFIF?

Somebody else who ordered told me he was told it ships on March 18 but I don't know for sure. Before Opening Day is what I've been saying to be on the safe side but I get the impression it will be by late March.

Thank you for patronage.
