According to The Providence Journal, Philadelphia Phillies SP Brett Myers would not have pitched in Boston had the Phillies faced the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. Myers was arrested outside a bar and charged with assault and battery on his wife during a trip to Boston with the Phillies in 2006. He told USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale that "I don't ever want to pitch in Boston again."
The New York Post reports the Philadelphia Phillies feel home plate umpire Kerwin Danley missed two calls in Game 2 of the World Series. SS Jimmy Rollins appeared to be hit on the jersey by a pitch, which would have awarded him first base. SP Brett Myers was upset when Danley awarded Tampa Bay Rays OF Rocco Baldelli a walk when it appeared he was unable to check his swing. "One, he swung, and two, I thought the pitch was a strike," Myers said. "What the heck was that? He missed that one, but maybe he'll get a chance to redeem himself."
News: Phillies SP Brett Myers rebounded from a shaky performance in Game 2 of the NLCS to go seven innings Thursday in Game 2 of the World Series. He suffered the loss, though, allowing four runs -- three earned -- on seven hits in seven innings. He struck out two and walked three.
Analysis: Despite struggling in his last few starts, Myers had a 7-4 record and 3.06 ERA in the second half. He had a tough time transitioning from the bullpen back to the rotation this season and even spent some time in the minors, but when he came around, he came around. Draft him as a No. 3 Fantasy SP next season
