Remember him?

Thus far through the Phillies season, much focus has been on the good (Chase Utley, Pat Burrell and the bullpen), the bad (Ryan Howard and Adam Eaton) and the injured (Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino).

But one day soon (I bet tomorrow) people will realize that the last man on the mound when the Phillies clinched last year sucks this year. Brett Myers got shelled for seven runs (six earned) in five innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks today, raising his ERA to 5.33 and his opponents' batting average to .288.

If he wants to pitch himself back into the bullpen, I don't think that's the way to go.

And thanks, Ryan Howard, for deciding to wake up and get a meaningless hit and RBI in the ninth inning. (We have Brandon Webb on our fantasy team.) {I was rooting for an eight-inning, 15-strikeout game before a Phillie won it on a home run in the ninth off a reliever.}

Josh Beckett, meanwhile, acted like an ace and shut down the Detroit Tigers, nipping the losing streak at one.
