" . . . the worst bleeping fans in the world."
- Larry Bowa, Philadelphia icon, 1980
THE SKINS IN THIS TOWN are so thin as to be translucent. I mean, is it possible that we really are so offended about Jimmy Rollins describing the fans of Philadelphia as "front-runners?" Are people here really that insecure?
Let's talk for a second, just you and me. Forget for a second whether "front-runner" was exactly the right word - we all know what Rollins meant, and we all know more now that he has spoken about his feelings at some length.
