Mr. Rollins,

Pertaining to your recent comments calling all of the Philly fans “front-runners”; you’ve got to be kidding me right? Without getting into too great of detail, remember last May? 4 and 11? I seem to remember the Bank being packed every home game last year and this year. You say we’re front runners? Seems you’ve had our undieing support for the past two years straight. (Well before that, but to keep this simple, i’ll stick to recent times.) Are we happy when the Phils win and not too happy when they don’t? Sure. We’re fans; and actually I’d hope that you’d feel the same way. Last year, every loss mattered, this year, by your own comments you have a different view of, “Oh well, we’ll get them tomorrow.” Quite the competitive fire there. What happened to you??? You used to be the heart and soul of this team. Are we pleased that this high powered offense has been drastically inconsistent the past few months? No. Are we going to voice our opinion? Damn straight. Even after your comments, 9 out of 10 people in Philly would probably take a bullet for any Phillie, including you. That’s how much we love this team. But, seriously, what has happened to you between last October and now? I live in Scranton, so I’ve followed your career for a long time, and I can never remember someone saying ONE negative thing about you; players, the organization, media, or fans. Then this year comes. All of the sudden we have the no hustle situation, and I’m happy Charlie called you on that. I could deal with that one. Then being benched for being late for the game. That was your fault, you were in the wrong and by the way that was bullsh*t. Why were you suddenly too good to ride with everyone else? Now this “front-runners” non-sense. Do you want to know why we get mad when the Phillies loose? Want to know what the difference between last year and this year is? Last year when the Phillies lost, it actually looked like everyone took the loss personally, this year is seems like some people could give a sh*t less by their attitude, actions, and what they say to the media. But oh well, I guess we can just go ahead and give it the good old college try tomorrow right? Well what happens after a month of that sh*t and there is no tomorrow anymore?

You know who I admire? #5, and not McNabb, the #5 on your team. Pat has taken so much grief from the fans and the media because he didn’t turn into the most prolific player in the history of the game. The Phillies and the fans tried a number of times to exile him. You’ve been there the whole time, you know the boo-ing he’s been subjected to. Guess what, he knew when he deserved it and admitted it. I’ve always liked Pat and have always thought that he’s been a damn good player and I’m hoping he gets extended. You seriously need to can the sudden piss poor attitude and get your sh*t back together. By the way, nice 0-5 last night, way to go.

You and your wife are the best. You both stopped for a photo while driving in to the stadium and signed a bunch of stuff for the kids that were there. True class! Thank you.

Mike
