Today's front page of that paragon of journalistic excellence, the NY Daily News carries the headline "Here Come The Frillies" with an obviously photoshopped shot of Shane Victorino wearing a pleated cheerleader-type skirt below his Phillies jersey. Shane has shapely calves, but that is beside the point.
The point is that this year's series pits the most successful sports franchise of all time, the Yankees with their 26 championships, against arguably the least successful, our Fightin' Phils with a mere three not to mention an all-time record 10,000+ loses in 127 years. And New York fans need a sophomoric headline and doctored photo to fire them up? This is like Sauron inspiring his orcs to battle with a picture of Frodo in jockey shorts.
Get a clue, Yankee fans! You don't need psychological help to overcome your poor cousins from down the Jersey Turnpike. Your payroll matches the GDP of some Central American countries. George Costanza no longer works in your front office. You are the proverbial sure thing.
Of course, things worked out for Frodo, so you never know.
