 Myers Struggles In Return; Phils Still Eyeing Burnett?
Myers Struggles In Return; Phils Still Eyeing Burnett?
When his confidence grew after four minor league starts, Brett Myers set an ambitious goal of - I wish I were making this up - winning 10 games for the Phillies in the second half of the season. His quest for double digit victories was made even less likely tonight when he struggled in his return to the big club.

The other Brett Myers
On Sunday, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Brett Myers was all talk, telling the media he looked forward to facing the Mets: “I can’t think of a better team for me to come back against. I don’t like ‘em. We’re not supposed to like them. Nothing against the guys on the team - they’re our rivals. We like beating them; they like beating us.”
