Brett Myers Has Serious Issues

Philadelphia Phillies' starting pitcher, Brett Myers, once again showed he has some emotional issues. Saturday night Myers basically showed up his manager, Charlie Manuel, when Manuel came out of the dugout to pull Myers from the game. Instead of saving his comments for the dugout or clubhouse and just handing his manager the ball, Myers stepped off the back of the mound and appeared to yell, "This is my (expletive) game" at Manuel. Once in the dugout, the argument escalated as the two were nose to nose before Myers disappeared into the clubhouse.

This isn't the first outburst Myers has had in the public eye. Let us take a walk down memory lane......

June 23, 2006 - Myers arrested and charged with assault after punching his wife during an argument on a Boston street near Fenway Park. The charges were later dropped after Myers' wife refused to pursue the case, even though the Judge in the case acknowledged that Myers had actually struck his wife as alleged. Associated Press

August 26, 2007 - Myers has verbal altercation with a reporter in the Phillies' clubhouse that was caught on tape. Myers yells obscenities at the reporter and repeatedly calls him a "retard" during the incident. You can listen to this display of maturity HERE

I can't wait to see Myers' next genius move.... Sphere: Related Content
