I've referred to Brett Myers as Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde or even Bad Brett/Good Brett in the past, this all being due to the fact that he's a tumultuous topsy-turvy tease. Yesterday in a "B" game against the Toronto Blue Jays Bad Brett went 3 innings allowing 6 hits...

If no one watched it, did the Phillies really lose? In a game that was blacked out across the country, the Phillies fell to the Giants 8-2. It was the first time since June 2006 that the Phillies game wasn't on, and it wasn't a bad game to have missed.
