Today is the day where Brett Myers OFFICIALLY gets activated from the 60-day DL so he can rejoin the team he helped become the 2008 World Fucking Champions. Back in late May, Myers had an issue with his hip that required surgery and most people figured he was done for the season. But neither hip surgery nor a faceplant into concrete would be able to stop Brett from coming back to do it again in ’09.
So just where, exactly, is he gonna fit in? Don’t look at me, ask Charlie:
“We’ll probably pitch him in the sixth or seventh inning a couple of times to see where he’s at, how he’s throwing, and then work him toward the back end of our bullpen and use him that way,” Manuel said.
Well, Cholly, you can’t get much further back in the bullpen than the sixth or seventh inning. So really, I think what he’s trying to say is, if Brad Lidge starts fucking up again, don’t be surprised if you hear that god-awful “Soldiers” song blaring from the CBP speakers to start the ninth, only this time it’ll be Brett Myers busting through the gates ready to drop that nasty hook of his on unsuspecting batters and grab the save.
Either way, he should be a welcomed addition to our staff for the stretch run.
Glad to have you back Brett, we missed you pal.

Welcome back, Brett!
There’s Brett, getting ready to mow ‘em down.
I don’t know about you guys, but I could see Brett occupying that 7th inning role for a while (or at least splitting it with Eyre, if there’s a key lefty-lefty matchup), especially if Romero doesn’t get healthy sometime in the immediate future. Myers–Madson–Lidge has a nice look to it at the end of the game, don’t you think?
And, yes, I think Lidge is working his way out of the abyss. He finally showed some good composure last night with men on base, after giving up that walk and settling down.
I think Myers would be perfect for the seventh inning role (maybe bleeding into the eighth) or to get a save when Lidge pitched the night before. Because if there’s one thing we have learned from this Brad Lidge fiasco it’s that he’s much more effective pitching with rest.
I’m so glad there are other people that think Lidge’s entrance music is horrendous. That song blows. Big time.
lidge and myers should sample Autobahn to find new entrance music
That picture never gets old.
I believe in Brad Lidge.
But it never hurts to have the Redneck Wrecking crew waiting in the wings.
This year I see Brett Myers getting his “Pat Burrell” moment in his last hurrah with the team…
We’re gonna win it again, Brett Myers said so!
-Cholly Manuel
Lidge needs a cot installed in the bulllpen. He needs more rest than Rip Van Winkle y’all (but not more than Hamels of course). More arms in back end of the pen is cool wid me.
All he needs is that FASTBALL and a good BREAKING BALL to keep those hitters OFF-BALANCE so they can’t make GOOD SOLID CONTACT! So, YEAH, welcome him back to the BULLPEN.
(Return of the Mack) it is
(Return of the Mack) come on
(Return of the Mack) oh my God
(You know that I’ll be back) here I am
(Return of the Mack) once again
(Return of the Mack) pump up the world
(Return of the Mack) watch my flow
(You know that I’ll be back) here I go
If I could caption that pic;
-”Where’s Carchidi?”
fuck brett myers.
Bite your tongue, sir!
Where in the FUCK did you find that picture? BAHAHAHAHAHA. It’s the most fitting picture for a Fightin’ yet. Amazing… just amazing.
That picture really should be flashed up on Phanovision when Brett comes into the game. As if his nasty stuff wasn’t enough to make the opposition crap their pants…
It’s been The Fightins official Twitter pic for a while now:

Um, actually the song that brad lidge chose is because of his commitment to “Strikeouts for Soldiers.”. But I mean he could chose a different song that would actually pump some people up and hopefully get a few saves under his belt.
I don’t know about you guys, but maybe Brad would be suited a little better for this gitter-upper.

that picture is amazing.
@Jdashdog – too funny
That might be the scariest fucking picture ever. I love it.
On closer inspection, though, he’s sort of a crappy shot.
Which might be scarier actually.
Since we all know Brad sucks donkey dick without a day of rest, what do you guys think of switching off Brad, Brett every day. We’ll have the killer B’s as our stoppers, that would be nuts!
Myers should be used as a seventh inning guy or in the 9th if Lidge pitched the day before. God knows we need the help in the bullpen. Seems like everyone except madson and lidge are hurt.
@Todd (ill)
It’s Redneck Recking Crew, brah. http://www.thefightins.com/tag/redneck-recking-crew/
Laura: that really does not change the fact that it sucks real bad
@fuck the mets: Warn people when linking to shit like that. It is NSFGU – not suitable for grown ups.
I mean I like the song. It’s just your opinion. My husband and a ton of family and friends are in the military and while I don’t support some things they do(military), I support them. Hence, why I like the song. But after seeing Brad’s ‘perfect’ season up close and personal, I just don’t get it this year.
Is that what he’s going after his wife with next time?
