Pat The Bat Popped Out Again

By now you may have heard about the verbal altercation between Phillies pitcher Brett “The Incredible Hulk” Myers and Inquirer reporter Sam Carchidi, where Myers called Carchidi a “fucking retard.” There’s audio from KYW 1060 here. While it’s not, “We talkin’ bout practice,” it is pretty good.)

Taking a cute from Dawn Stensland, Myers’ later apologized to any retards he offended. Weird thing is, Myers has had his alleged physical-alertcation-with-wife problems, but he usually doesn’t blow up at reporters or anything, except for this one mild-mannered reporter.

But who cares about that. After Myers’s and Carchidi’s voices began to raise, Pat Burrell — wearing only a towel — attempted to calm things down. Burrell is currently doing everything right. And what happened, but, whoops, the towel fell off.
