BY SCOTT LAUBERNEW YORK -- So, Jimmy Rollins was in a rush to get out to the field today for batting practice and said he read only the first seven or so words of Mike Schmidt's e-mail missive to the Phillies.
He never got to the part about the Mets.
Told that Schmidt wrote, "the Mets know you're better than they are," Rollins smiled and said, "Well, that part's true." Asked if Schmidt was right that the Mets are still thinking about last season's epic collapse, Rollins said, "I think it's only natural -- if we win three games. If not, they'll take a deep breath and get a chance to probably regather themselves. But if we win all three games, naturally, you're going to think back to that. It's human nature."
Agree? Disagree? Discuss. Meanwhile, here's Martin Frank's take on the Schmidter.

My sources tell me it's already raining back home, and tropical storm Hanna is expected to show up here by morning. Thus, there's a very good chance that we'll have a day-night doubleheader Sunday. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, eight of the 15 doubleheaders played in the majors this season have resulted in sweeps.

Um...yeah, it's a 50-50 chance so not very surprising.
You have "sources" back home. Most people call them "friends." You need to look at your priorities.
