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.”

While Chase Utley didn’t live up to the predictions of the ESPN commentators at last night’s home run derby, this little nugget has got us all loving the three-time all-star. That is three-time (and surely many more) starter, you New York pukes.

Listen for it. A little “Boo? Fuck You.” to the New Yorkers in Yankee Stadium.

Yeah, I know this is a sports blog - but it’s also a place where I can say (via the podcast) or write anything I want. I am allowed to do this in no small part to George Carlin, a man who took on the established media and successfully told it to fuck off.

Carlin passed away yesterday at the age of 71.

As a small Philly SportsCast tribute, our take on the seven dirty words.

1. Shit - Pedro Feliz can’t hit for shit.
2. Piss - Remember standing in line at the Vet to take a piss?
3. Fuck - Fuck the Mets.
4. Cunt - That Mets fan in the jean shorts is a cunt.
5. Cocksucker - Go back to New York, you cocksucker.
6. Motherfucker - Seven loses in a row is a motherfucker.
7. Tits - Seven wins in a row? That is the tits.

Finally, a little piece of video that, depending on your own personal beliefs (I side with George on this one), may have the grand old man in a little trouble right about now.

I know, I know - in this town there can be no rooting for the Boston Celtics. I am not and never would. However, everyone who listens to the show knows I have been a KG fan for many years. I am not a fan of his because he plays basketball exceptionally well, I am HUGE fan of Kevin Garnett because of this man’s absolute will to win - nothing is more important to him.

All the adversity he has had to deal with in Minnesota and the pressure to bring a world championship to Boston is over - mission accomplished.

This video is pure emotion - Garnett is praising all who helped him get to where he stood last night and, as you’ll see at the end of this clip when Bill Russell enters the frame, how important it is to remember those who know just how hard it is to win it all.

A true champion, most worthy of the ring - and the paycheck. If this cat was a 76er, he would be the most popular EVER.

How much was Ron Hextall worth to this city? I do understand that this kind of hockey is long gone - however, after watching this video thre is no doubt that Hextall was simply a brother from another mother.
