Brett Myers Is A Mess

I really don’t care about the passion Brett Myers has for the game, his winning attitude, or his work ethic - you do not show up your manager ANYTIME. Especially late in a must-win game with only a 3-1 lead.

Winning the game here is the most important thing and Charlie Manuel has a job to do. Myers is a crybaby who hasn’t pitched well. Does this kid not remember the first half of this season? You’re telling me that a three-week stint in the minors has changed him into Nolan Ryan?


“I missed a month without being here with the team, and I wanted to try to prove myself again that I can pitch in the big leagues,” Myers said after the game. “I wanted to stay out there as long as I could. He made the decision and that’s his decision.”

That’s right, kiddo. He’s the manager and you are a 5-9 pitcher with a 5.09 ERA in 21 games.

Manuel’s take…

I’ll tell you something: his confidence got back. That’s why I took him out of the game. I wasn’t going to let him lose the game. He was leaving on a high note, and there’s four left-handed hitters standing there. I wasn’t going to give him a chance to get hit. He already pitched a good game and did a good job.”

    in the next two weeks, the phillies have to play the dodgers twice, and the giants and nationals, that’s 2 tough series

    the marlins have to play the cards, cubs, giants and arizona, that’s 3 tough series

    the mets on the other hand have to play the pirates, the nationals, braves, and houston, 3 of those teams really suck, and houston’s not bad but they’re still a sub .500 team

    so basically, the phils gotta step it up
