I wonder if this will affect his start Saturday

 

Without a doubt that POS wont be allowed to pitch Saturday. Myself, Im hoping he will pitch. If indeed so, get ready for a deserving chorus of the boo-birds. Im in section 26, Myers, targeting you. I have no respect for any man that gives his wife (or any woman) a swollen face.

On Deadspin he is reported to be into karate and boxing.

Not exactly the kind of PR any team needs starting a 3 game series on the road.

 

[Beckett95]

what a POS, i dont know why his wife would bail him out. She should have let him in sit in jail for a while

[CrespoBlows]

He'll pitch, he's an athelte.

[yeszir]

Way to post your husband's bail after he punches you in the face, lady.

you can never ever justify domestic violence and violence against women in general

i can certainly understand it unfortunetly

[Mr Crunchy]

you can never ever justify domestic violence and violence against women in general

i can certainly understand it unfortunetly

 

 

 

My mom one time forgot to pay the car insurance. Think that justified my dad to hit her in front of me when i was 5?

 

what if your mom blew the money on crack and your dad rear ended a porche uninsured??

1st of all hes going to jail immediatlely 2nd of all hes going to be sued for at least a years pay.....i dont condone it,i do understand how it happens unfortunetly.

 

Maybe its just cuz how I was brought up. Even if a girl is a bitch and all in my face... I talk with my mouth, not my fists

 

me too man,im married and take care of my mother in law wife and 8 year old daughter along with my son

pimps hit women men dont

[CrespoBlows]

So...

 

Btw, you spelled athlete wrong.

 

It's called "rich justice." How many athletes do you see thrown in jail for this?

 

Are you looking for some sort of reaction? Just because you got called out for being a jackass, doesn't mean you have to spill the s*** to other threads. Keep it confined in there. (By the way, my one error dwarfs your constant mistakes at capitalization, grammar, and other spelling errors you've made.)

[riverside sluggers]

From the general manager Pat Gillick & manager Charlie Manuel

 

"We arent even thinking about suspension or anything in that matter due to no official evidence"

 

Ok... Cops show up at the scene outside, his wife is on the ground crying with a swollen face. Her and 2 nearby witnesses pointed him out right away. Granted, she did post his bail

 

But yea theres no official evidence that he hit his wife

[Manny Goes Boom]

What a f***tard. NO excuse for hitting any woman. None. And she's his wife! What a loser...I hope we touch him up for 20 runs in the first 3 innings...

[DirtDog]

[jsinger121]

wife beater chants by the fenway crowd just like they had when celtics played nets in the east finals for jason kidd

[Goalstopper]

Myers hears it from the Fenway fans

Phils pitcher showered with boos in wake of recent arrest

By Ken Mandel / MLB.com

 

BOSTON -- From the moment Brett Myers set foot on what he hoped would be his sanctuary, 35,564 parishioners voiced that he wasn't welcome. The events from early Friday morning -- in which the Phillies ace was arrested and charged with domestic assault-and-battery on his wife, Kim -- remained fresh, and the public at Fenway Park wanted to let Myers know.

 

Myers heard the first boos when he played catch in the outfield, then again when he warmed up in the bullpen before Saturday's start. If he looked up between pitches, he might have seen Red Sox and Phillies fans united in their displeasure, with representatives from both sides displaying unprintable messages for Myers.

 

The boos reached a crescendo when Myers slowly strolled to the mound for the bottom of the first inning, and the crowd took added delight with each Red Sox hit, walk or run the right-hander gave up. "It didn't surprise me," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "Boston is pretty rough." Saturday's events had little to do with Boston, and more to do with the public opinion of Myers after the alleged charges. He pleaded not guilty, and a judge set a pretrial hearing for Aug. 4, though Myers doesn't have to appear. He was released after his wife paid the $200 bail.

 

Multiple witnesses told police some graphic details about the incident, that happened near the team hotel -- at Boylston and Dalton Streets -- shortly after midnight ET on Friday. Kim Myers told police that her husband hit her on the left side of her face with what she thought was a "closed fist." Another witness described a scene in which Myers pulled his wife by the hair, and smacked her in the face. That witness said it was "disgusting."

 

On Saturday, the 6-foot-4, 240-pound, father of two arrived at the Fenway Park and tried to focus on beating the Red Sox. He quietly watched television before the game, a compilation of concert footage of various rock bands. He said he understood the public's viewpoint. Asked if he thinks it will follow him, he said, "Probably." Will it follow him to Philadelphia? "Probably, we'll see," Myers said. "I'll say this," Manuel said. "He'll get booed." As expected, Myers didn't talk much about his off-the-field issues following his start, and dodged most questions that addressed his mindset. Most of his teammates did, too.

 

"Baseball is baseball," said shortstop Jimmy Rollins, the team's player representative. "We come here to play baseball. We concentrate on baseball. What goes on in people's personal lives, usually we drop that at the door. You have to. That's the only way we can do what we do. It's hard to bring personal lives into the clubhouse." Myers gave up three runs in the first two innings and looked rattled. He settled down to pitch five innings. He also took his time coming out for the second inning, later explaining that FOX has longer commercial breaks and he didn't want to be standing on the mound for 30 seconds doing "nothing."

 

Perhaps he wanted a break from the abuse. Asked whether this was perhaps the toughest set of conditions imaginable for a start, Myers said, "any time you come into a big city, it's tough, especially with the lineup they have." Not wanting to elaborate was understandable, considering the circumstances, though Myers expressed gratitude for his teammates' support and sorrow that this became public knowledge.

 

"I'm sorry it had to get public, that's it," he said. "Of course, it's embarrassing."
