Brett Myers, in the worst of ways, needs a quality outing tonight against the Mets.
Myers will be making his first start with the Phillies since being shipped to the minor leagues in early July. Overall, he threw well on the farm, but didn't exactly convince anyone that he's back to his old form.
For the Phillies to succeed in the second half, Myers, who is 3-9 with a 5.84 ERA, needs to rise to the occassion. He doesn't need to be perfect, but he has to be pretty darn good.
Myers must avoid early-inning trouble. This year, the burly right-hander has allowed more runs in the first inning than any qualified starting pitcher in baseball.
Myers' turnaround must start tonight at Shea Stadium. The Phillies need another statement game after last night's thriller.
Brett Myers, this is the biggest start of your life.

He was pretty wild tonight.
He couldn't locate worth a damn. To his credit, he kept the Phillies in the game, but he was done after five innings because of the high pitch count/five walks. We needed at least 6 from him.
Oh, and where was Schoeneweis Tuesday night? He appears to be your best reliever.
No clue Matt. This is why I don't think the managerial change did anything as far as pitching decisions because Manuel runs out the same people night after night from the pen as Willie did.
