Brett Myers Blows Game, Then Blows Up At Philly Reporter Sam Carchidi Calling Him A 'Retard' And Much More

Brett Myers Blows Game, Then Blows Up At Philly Reporter Sam Carchidi Calling Him A 'Retard' And Much More Photo
Brett Myers seems like a nice guy. You know; the kind that beats his wife and is liable to blow up at any given moment. Last night was one of those (no word on the wife beating, but likely).

Following Myers blown save, Philly reporter Sam Carchidi questioned the Phillies pitcher use of the word pop ups. Hilarity ensues.

Here's the audio - Brett Myers vs Sam Carchidi (heavily edited "conversation" below)

Sam Carchidi: “You thought they both were pop ups?”

Brett Myers: “Yeah, didn’t you? You think they crushed ‘em?”

SC: “The first one I thought was out, the second one no.”

BM: “Yeah, cause you’re a retard, you don’t know s**t about f***in’ baseball. You’re filling in for somebody.”

SC: “How do you spell ‘retard’?”

BM: “You know how to spell it, it’s in your f**in’ vocabulary, I’m sure you know.”

SC: “You are classy, I’ll tell ya.”

BM: “Go on. [Get] outta here, you f**in’ idiot.”

SC: [pointing at Brett Myers] “You’re the f**in’ idiot.”

BM: “Hey! You pointin’ at me mother****er?! I’ll tell you what, dude, I’ll knock you mutherf***ing out! F**K YOU!!! You’re tough when f**in’ people are standing in front of you, aren’t you, you piece of sh*t! Come on! You f**ing idiot. Yeah, you’re tough when f***in’ people are standing in front of you, you stupid ass.”

SC: “I’m a retard?”

BM: “Yeah, that’s right, YOU ARE, you’re a f***ing idiot. You ask stupid ass f***ing questions!”
Very nice. Glad we're all grown ups here. Remember how Brett Myers was taking Anger Management classes. That went well.

Brett Myers blows (the game); screams obscenities at reporter (Bugs and Cranks)

 No harm, no foul.  I think it's kind of funny, even though the reporter didn't do anything.  But it sparked the team, we scored 14 runs today threw 7 innings.

Oh, and another thing, your telling me Myers goes off on one reporter and he's the most classless?  What about Kenny Rogers, or Barry Bonds.  Rogers actually physically touched a reported, and Bonds is an ass to reporters day in and out.  But noo he's got more class than Myers.

How much time did you put into the Myers story.  I bet your one of the thousands of people who listened to ESPN and believed hey this guy smacked his wife around after drinking a few beers.  Well maybe you oughta get the real story next time.  Don't believe everything you hear, especially from the media.

You're seriously defending a guy like Brett Myers. While he's unlikely the least classiest guy in sports, he's definitely a dbag. There's no defending that.

 Jason never pulled crap like the stuff Myers does.
Myers is a verbally and physically abusive man who has abused his wife physically and verbally and these cases are documented and were criminally prosecuted.
He was then entered into court ordered anger management training that didn't appear to work.
He now regularly verbally abusers and physically threatens members of the media if they disagree with him.
Jason has never done things like this and has almost always been kind and generous with the fans and the media --- which is why some fans continue to support him.

There is when you don't have the whole story.  He didn't assult his wife, why do you think the charges randomly got dropped.  A Boston fan (I can't find the link) reported on the Phils fourms a few months ago that he was at the bar that Myers was at, and his wife was drunk completely.  She was hitting him and ranting around, which is normal drunk behavior, and she got way out of hand.  Now I can speculate or believe everything out of here, but your telling me the media would never blow anything out of proportion.  Also why the hell would the charges randomly get dropped.

This is what all Phillies fans say when they are confronted with facts that are not positive about the Myers.
You don't live in Philly so you don't understand and he never did anything wrong.
It's all the media.
If that's the fairy tail world that we live in --- then Jason Giambi never took steroids.
It's the media.
He didn't do it.
It's the media.
Why do you try and tear down Giambi when it was obviously the media that took steroids just like it was the media that hit Myer's wife.
I mean, he obviously didn't hit his wife because he said so, right?
And because his wife said so, right?
Ever had a family member who got abused by the boyfriend or their husband.
They almost ALWAYS say he didn't do it and they almost always defend the creep.

the charges would get dropped, perhaps, because she would swear it never happened and beg and plead for nothing to happen to him because he's a good man and a great husband and he never raised a hand to her...
And because if she didnt say that he'd beat her again ...

LOL thats amazing that you would even waste your time posting that.  Steroids have tests that can be taken to prove someone took them.  No such thing to prove that Myers did anything.  So if Myers hit his wife.  It's over.  Many people have done it.  It's not right, thats sure as hell, but than either every other person in the world who hits there wives is just as class-less or he isn't the least classiest person.  Also, about this reporter thing.  What did Myers do?  He was talking to a reporter who asked a really dumb question.  Two fly-balls?  I mean the ball wasn't carrying way out of the park, so it must have been obvious that they weren't going to be caught.  Not to mention one of the homers went about 10 rows up.

Yeah because if he hit her, and she was forced to divorce him, she wouldn't get any money.  So obviously she either realllllllllllllly loved him, and wanted to stay with him no matter how many times he hit her, or it never happened, and she had not enough evidence to get his money, kids, home etc.  We have no clue who the witnesses were.  They could have been her friends, Myers enemy, or a guy 1000 ft. away from what happened.

see...?
It's in the very article that you provided ...

"An abuse charge against Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Brett Myers was dismissed Thursday after his wife said she did not want her husband prosecuted for hitting her in the face during an argument near Fenway Park.

Judge Raymond Dougan acknowledged that Myers struck his wife June 23, yet dismissed the charge over the objection of prosecutors because Kim Myers agreed to an affidavit showing she did not want the charge pursued."

then she says this lame excuse in the article you provided :

 

"“He’s a loving father, he’s a loving husband. This is not something that happens on a daily basis,” she said. “Or ever.”


It doesn't happen ever?
Then why even say the first part about it not happening on a daily basis and then saying not ever ?
Freudian slip?

and in the same article...

"Authorities say the two were arguing when Brett Myers hit his wife. One witness told investigators he pulled her hair."

I guess the witnesses and the authorities are just making it up to make Myers look bad, huh?

See my last point, we don't know who the witness is.  Don't you think a bar outside of Boston would have a few more witnesses than were interviewed?

Myers enemy?
That's weak.
I guess you haven't had a mother or a sister who's been in a abusive relationship or lived in any kind of fear.
It's not about money for a lot of women.
So the witnesses, the authorities, and the 911 callers were all Myer's enemies?
Sorry to disappoint you --- but outside Philly I doubt too many people could pick Myers out of a group of people.
He's just not that famous and people just don't care.
If it was somebody like Alex Rodriguez in Boston getting arrested or Manny Ramirez in New York I might see something like that because they would be hugely recognizable and could be hated.
But people in Boston don't care about Bret Myers.

They're all in the same boat.
You can't say Myers is a saint because these other guys are assholes.
They're just fellow assholes.

what did he do?
I man who was arrested for physically abusing his wife and undertook anger management said this to a reporter:

"I’ll tell you what, dude, I’ll knock you mutherf***ing out!"

If I was the reporter I would have filed a complaint with the police for being physically threatened.

No, I haven't because my father is a smart man and knows not to do that, and my sisters 12.  But when your dating a million dollar making athlete, and you have the chance to get money out of a divorce or lawsuit, your telling me there just going to walk away from it.  I mean you can't pin all of this on Myers, we have no clue what his wife is like.  We don't see her everyday, or hear stories about her.  But a few stories say she was drunk, which coming out of a bar, okay I could see.  But you have to be repsonsible for your actions, drunk or not.  And if she was acting out in public then it would have to be attended to.
