Brett Myers Just Doesn’t Get It
Real Sports Bloggers — Brett Myers is the Phillies relief pitcher who was arrested in 2006 for striking his wife in the face and pulling her hair after they got in an argument while leaving a bar. Why do I bring this up two years later? Because of Myers behavior after the incident, and because the Phillies organization has never really dealt with, or even acknowledged it. Their statements after his arrest, to a man, involved concern for Myers. Nobody seemed particularly distressed by the cowardly, unmanly nature of what Myers had done. Least of all Myers. How do you follow up hitting a woman on a public street? In 2007 Myers found a way, ...

Nine story lines for 2008
The Hardball Times — Nine story lines for 2008 by Geoff Young March 06, 2008 Years ago, a high school teacher of mine talked about the importance of living in the present. Being the wise-ass high school student that I was, I quipped that I looked forward to that. Hey, when you're 17 years old, it's amazing what passes for clever.

With that in mind, here are some things (beyond living in the present) that I look forward to in the coming season. These aren't necessarily the biggest stories of 2008, but, in my eyes, they're pretty ...

A Question for Kyle Kendrick
crashburnalley.com — A Question for Kyle Kendrick October 25th, 2008 Posted in Media , Blogs , Internet , Philadelphia Phillies , MLB Hat tip to With Leather . Kyle Kendrick wrote an editorial for PhillyBurbs.com talking about how excited he was that the Backstreet Boys were going to sing the national anthem before Game 1 of the World Series: I’m only 24, and as a kid growing up near Seattle, boy bands were popular. I always thought the Backstreet Boys were the best out there, better than ‘NSYNC. My question isn’t “Why do you like boy bands?” nor am I going to take any easy jabs at his taste in music, but I do want to ask, ...
