Myers is pitching for Reading next.  Will they keep sending him down until he's finally whiffing little leaguers?

You may be right, but dear god who cares? The dude is a minor leaguer right now, shouldn't he be traveling with his fellow minor leaguers?

[SunMo]

he's not a minor leaguer...he's a major leaguer pitching in the minors

hes there to straighten out his pitching...not to bond with teammates playing peanuckle on the back of the swb team bus

Judging from what I saw from him this year, I'd say the exact opposite.  He was a minor leaguer pitching in the majors. 

Boom!  Outta here.

I think that's a load of bullshtein. If you aren't good enough to stay up with the team you aren't a big leaguer. But whatever. I know that you're right and that that is exactly what the team is doing, but it's retarded.

Stark:

"The buzz in Philadelphia is that GM Pat Gillick has convinced ownership to take on a big contract if the right starting pitcher falls into their zip code. We're not sure how hard that was, but even the most skeptical members of a conservative ownership group can't help but see that the Phillies aren't going anywhere without a high-impact starter.

"Then again, Sabathia was the guy they'd targeted. Yet they wouldn't talk about either their best minor league arm, Carlos Carrasco, or their most advanced position player, catcher Lou Marson, in those Sabathia discussions. So without altering that stance, they might not even have the ammunition to get a second-tier starter.

"Phillies executives have been telling people they're wary of both Erik Bedard and A.J. Burnett. But at this point, they have no choice but to stalk both of them."

Nice to see that this ownership group is still having to be convinced rather than them going to the GM and telling him to do whatever it takes to win. I hate them.

Worst misspelling of any word in the history of ever?
