LOS ANGELES - Here's the thing, Jimmy Rollins said yesterday.

Beneath the eye black, beneath the ballcap, beneath the jersey and sliding pants and spikes, there is a human being. And that was the reason for his now infamous answer to a question posed to him on a national sports talk show Wednesday.

Speaking to local reporters yesterday in the wake of the heavily circulated video clip in which he expressed some discontent with Philadelphia sports fans, Rollins said he was simply sticking up for some of his teammates who have been booed mercilessly this season.

Rollins: Booing is no help

LOS ANGELES - Jimmy Rollins boldly proclaimed the Phillies the team to beat in the National League East last season, and everybody loved him for it.

He felt it. He said it. To heck with the repercussions.

But when Rollins said Wednesday on Fox television's Best Damn Sports Show Period that Phillies fans were front-runners, well, Phils fans had a much different reaction to that sort of candor. He has been lambasted in Philadelphia.
