Phillies President Admits Myers Mistake

Philadelphia Phillies president Dave Montgomery says it was a "mistake" to have Brett Myers pitch against the Red Sox a day after being arrested and charged with hitting his wife.

The decision to allow Brett to pitch was wrong. And the reason I believe it was wrong was that an unintended message was sent that we are somehow indifferent to the matter of spousal abuse. ... It created in the minds of others that there was a condoning of what [allegedly] took place.
