Well it appears that Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins World Series prediction wasn't even close.
Mr. Rollins instead should have done what most other athletes would have done. 
When asked during the "Ten @ Ten" on the Jay Leno Show a week ago about his prediction he should have said, "I don't want to jinx anything, all I know is that we're going to play hard to defend our title" or just throw in about "player superstitions."


Instead, Rollins says on national television for all to hear and see, "Well, of course we're going to win...I'm thinking five to close it out at home."
The irony in that is that the New York Yankees have a chance to close it out tonight at the Phillies home at Citizens Bank Park in Game 5. The Yankees are up 3-1 in the series and have Game 2 starter and winner A.J. Burnett on the mound to face Game 1 winner Cliff Lee who was absolutely brilliant.
This should be the game of the series tonight.
Rollins already got the games wrong, but he still has a shot at the other half of his prediction.Like what you see? Follow me on Twitter http://twitter.com/batterupbruno
