The move of opening day starter, Brett Myers, to the bullpen proves the Phils are more desperate than a 39 year old single woman that feels her biological clock tick, tick, ticking away. Staying with this analogy, making the $25 million wife beater a set up man is akin to the 39 year old single chick shacking up with a divorced father of two that has a prison record, drug problem and list himself as "self employed" on his 1040, just to say she has a boyfriend.
Seriously, you don't give your supposed ace, a 3 year $25 million deal and then move him to the bullpen as a 7th/8th inning set up man. It just makes no sense. Good organizations don't make moves like this; they plan out their roster to make sure there are no gaping holes.
Although, my buddy, Mister Nascar, makes an interesting point. He believes this move is Uncle Cholly's way of calling out Pat Gillick for the inadequate roster he's been given. However, since Manual is a mental midget and clearly unable to make such a sly move, I don't put much stock in this theory.
In my opinion, this move is exactly what it seems to be....a desperate move by a desperate man.
By the way, the Phils lost again tonight, but at least showed a little fight losing 5-4 in 13 innings. Plus, Uncle Cholly showed a lot of class tonight wearing the Virginia Tech cap in tribute to all the people in Blacksburg that lost friends and family in Monday's senseless tragedy.

I was dumbfounded when I heard about this move yesterday. I almost swerved off of 295 when it was announced.
What is going on with this team? You have Cholly acting like an imbecile towards a media figure, your "ace" starter being buried in middle relief, guys are not hitting with RISP (1 for 11 last night), bad coaching moves, etc.
This team needs about 100 sticks of dynamite and a match more than anything.
