... Brett Myers with pulling this one off. Myers devised the entire plan to convince teammate Kyle Kendrick that he'd been traded to a Japanese team. The entire Phillies clubhouse was in on it, including the media, and the team even went as far as creating a fake itinerary, a fake press release, and fake trade papers to fool Kendrick. Now if only Myers can fool Pat Gillick into giving Ryan Howard the contract extension he deserves. (Via Bugs & Cranks)   Permalink | Email this ...

The Phillies pulled off an instant-classic clubhouse prank Saturday afternoon in Clearwater. Evil genius Brett Myers concocted a plan where assistant GM Ruben Amaro and manager Charlie Manuel would inform 2nd year pitcher Kyle Kendrick that he was traded to a Japenese team in exchange for another pitcher - named Kobyashi.   Watch and enjoy.  The plan was extensive and nearly everyone and their mother was in on the prank.  Good stuff.  Brett Myers is the new Ashton Kootcher [Bugs and Cranks]

Brett Myers is Full of Trickery [Better Than Beating His Wife I Guess]
Published 2/17/2008 by Christmas Ape at Deadspin
When not occupied with domestic abuse or calling reporters retards, Phillies pitcher Brett Myers fancies himself quite the mischievous clubhouse presence. Here, he's gotten manager Charlie Manuel, some beat reporters and GM Ruben Amaro in on the act of fooling pitcher Kyle Kendrick into thinking he's been dealt to a Japanese team. Bug & Cranks also has scans of the fake documents they took the time to draw up. I like that Kendrick's first question is whether Japan has any decent food. Well, I don't know, it's not ...
