*    Brett Myers beating his wife
*    Good 'ole Cholly Manuel managing like he had a frontal lobotomy prior to the season
*    Leadoff extraordinaire, self proclaimed "J-Roll", and his .300 on base percentage
*    Untouchable "Super Phenoms", Gavin Floyd and Cole Hamels, and their 5.00+ MLB ERA's
*    Pat Burrell and his 12 pack of Sam Adams that is super glued to his hip
*    Bobby Abreu's defense
*    Waiver wire dynamo Rick White
*    Losing Streaks by the half dozens

  Folks - this is just the past two weeks in the life of the "Worst Franchise" in all of professional sports. Period. This is actually an improvement from the last decade or so when Ed Wade would be looking to move Bobby Abreu for some middle relief help by this point.
