IF THEY HAD HIRED JIM LEYLAND, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THIS ROUTE: Not to pile on at a time of severe Phillies misfortune and self-inflicted woes, but another question for the Phillies organization: it's bad enough that the Phillie Phanatic persists in gay bashing and inducted himself into his own "hall of fame", and that he refuses to take his hat off for the National Anthem (about which I once emailed the team to ask -- their response was, basically, "he still loves America very much"), but why, oh why, can't he at least set a good example for kids and wear a helmet when he's speeding around on his ATV?

The industry-sponsored ATV Safety Institute's first Golden Rule is to "Always wear a helmet and other protective gear." So, please, let's not have the Phanatic join Mariner Moose in the ICU.
