San Diego 4, Philadelphia 3, Brett Myers 2 (IQ) Brett Myers...punching the developmental delay switch. After the game, Myers got into a shouting match with a reporter and had to be restrained by teammate Pat Burrell. When Myers was asked about the two home runs, he said they were really just pop ups. A reporter from the Philadelphia Inquirer questioned whether Myers really thought they were pop ups, and Myers got angry. You re not even a beat reporter, you re a fill-in, you don t know anything about baseball, said Myers, who then called the reporter retarded. The Inquirer reporter asked if Myers could spell retarded, and Myers stood up. Burrell then restrained Myers, and Myers refused to speak any further.
