Phillies Owner Contradicts Brett Myers Charges
Link: Philadelphia Inquirer | 07/10/2006 | One Phillies owner speaks out on team’s struggles.
Todd Zolecki of the Inquirer caught up with Bill Giles, a minority share owner of the Phillies. In the interview, Giles disputes the accusations against Brett Myers. No punching, no hair pulling.
So let me make sure I understand this... If, and I say if, Giles is accurate about the events of that night in Boston, and if Myers really is innocent, then why did the Phillies eventually capitulate to pressure and sit Myers?
If Myers is guilty, the organization was wrong to let him pitch 36 hours after the incident. If he is innocent, then the organization is weak for capitulating to pressure.
Which is it? Inept or weak?
