  • Gordon out; Myers In

    From Philly.com:

    After the game, the Phils suffered another loss. Manuel announced that closer Tom Gordon arrived at the ballpark with a sore right shoulder and is headed home to be checked by team physician Michael Ciccotti.

    Gordon's sore shoulder means the Brett Myers era as closer will begin tonight in San Francisco.

    As Manuel announced Gordon's status, it became clear that the organization misled the public about the pitcher's condition in spring training.

    Remember that not-so-secret trip home to Philadelphia that Gordon took in the spring? Remember how team officials insisted that Gordon's shoulder, which landed him on the disabled list last season, was fine? Remember how the Phils repeatedly said he went home for a routine exam?

    Turns out that was a whole load of compost.

    "He was stiff," Manuel admitted last night.

    Stiff when he went back to Philly?

    "Yeah," Manuel said. "He was sore in spring training."

    So Cholly in his infinite wisdom not only trotted Gordon out there to blow three saves, he actually kept him in for 2 innings in one of these stints!

      this could be a blessing in disguise. Gordon was killing me with his "closing".

        three blown saves are the difference between their record and being over .500; good work Charlie!

          this is what we get every year from this horse's ass of an organization. last year, tim worrell. charlie trotted him out to blow at least a half-dozen game before they pulled the plug.

          this year, they know gordon's got a problem, they lie about it, and then they let him blow a bunch of games. what stupid fucking jerkoffs.
          Don't kid yourself Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd kill you and everyone you cared about!
