Uh Oh!!!!


Check out this report today from ESPN.com:

Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard reportedly has dismissed his agent, Larry Reynolds.

The Phillies said Howard, the 2006 National League MVP, is looking for a new agent and has not yet informed the team who will represent him, the Philadelphia Daily News reported for Saturday editions.

Howard, who is eligible for arbitration after the 2007 season, made $355,000 last season, when he led the majors with 58 homers and 149 RBI.

"He's obviously due for a big raise," assistant general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. told the newspaper.
I don't think I have to remind people what happened the last time a big time athlete in this city fired his agent. I'm fairly confident that this won't be a replay of the T.O. fiasco, but if Howard names Scott Boras as his agent, then alarm bells should go off. I would also suggest we all take cover because there is no way this will end well for the Phils.
