Awwww…Brett Myers is upset that he didn’t make the Phillies NLCS roster.  Boo hoo.  According to the Philadelphia Inquirer:

“I’m upset,” the pitcher said before Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers last night.

Myers, 29, had hip surgery June 4. At the time, team officials thought his season was over. The righthander stayed dedicated to a rehabilitation program and made it back in early September. The club hoped Myers could help in the bullpen, but he had a 6.43 ERA in eight games. He pitched just two-thirds of an inning in the division series.

“It’s tough going through all that [rehab],” Myers said. “This is the whole reason I tried to get back, to be in the postseason. Now they took that away.

“They said I wasn’t sharp. I disagree. They told me my curveball was sharp. That contradicts itself. But whatever. I’ll stay around and support my teammates.”

You know what else is tough?  Being a woman and assaulted by your 6-foot-4, 240-pound husband, only to see him pitch just 36 hours later.  I just can’t muster up any sympathy for Myers, a guy who has proven time and again what a class act he is.  It shouldn’t matter from Philly’s end, as they currently hold a 2-1 lead over the Dodgers, thanks in large part to the Cliff Lee acquisition.  Lee’s curveball looked great last night, and I know he’s a pretty decent pitcher, but how many more AL pitchers need to come over to the NL and totally dominate before we can acknowledge that the NL really is AAAA?  I’m pretty sure Carl Pavano would have finished in the top 3 of Cy Young voting had he pitched for the Dodgers this season.  Grienke wouldn’t have given up more than four runs.  Hell, I’m pretty sure I could get through an inning relatively unscathed.  And I’m drunk as shit right now.
