Would you root for Brett Myers?
The Mets have been vaguely linked to Brett Myers in trade rumors.
I’m curious how strong the dedication is to the so-called laundry, so I figured I’d run a poll. First, the information:
Brett Myers is a decent but unspectacular pitcher having a nice season. He tends to go deep in games and appears to be benefiting from his departure from Philadelphia’s obscene home-run environment. He would represent an upgrade to the Mets’ pitching staff.
In 2006, Brett Myers was arrested for punching his wife in the face on a street corner in Boston in front of multiple witnesses. One said:
“He was dragging her by the hair and slapping her across the face. She was yelling, ‘I’m not going to let you do this to me anymore’ … She’s a real small girl. It was awful.”
Charges were later dropped at Myers’ wife’s behest.
In 2007, Myers had to be restrained by teammates during a profanity-laced tirade aimed at a Phillies’ beat reporter.
By “root for” in the poll below, I don’t mean necessarily by his player-tee or anything like that. I mean buy tickets to games he’s pitching, cheer when he gets a big strike three, applaud when he walks off the mound after a nice start — nothing outrageous, just how you would treat any other pitcher on your favorite team.
