Brandon Phillips Continues to be Stupid

I commented on Phillips and his antics in the game yesterday and how displeased I was with them.

Now he is talking, and I’m even more angry.

“I’m over it, but I never forget,” said Phillips, after the Reds swept the Indians on Sunday. “I never forget. I forgive them for everything they did, but I’ll never forget it. I won’t.” (Plain Dealer)

Was he talking about the way we probably called him up sooner than he should have been.. NOPE

“I’m happy they treated me the way they did,” said Phillips, referring to the Indians. “Everything happened for a reason. It made me stronger. It made me the person I am today. It made me work harder. I thank them for that. I just never forget what happened over there.”

He was talking about Eric Wedge.

“Having success is a beautiful thing when you have a manager, a GM and an owner that believe in you,” Phillips said. “When they believe in you, you can do many things in this game. When they don’t believe in you, you don’t know what’s going to happen. You don’t know where you’re going to go.”

That is a clear shot at Eric Wedge and Mark Shapiro in my eyes.

“The way I play the game, the way I pump my fist, the way I get excited, some managers don’t like that,” Phillips said.

Yeah.. Our manager loves that, just not when you are running down the first baseline on an RBI hit. Run to first base you idiot.

“I’m saying some managers don’t like that,” Phillips said. “I’m not saying just Eric Wedge. Dusty Baker [Reds manager] loves it. . . . It just gives more energy to the team. That’s all it’s about — me feeding energy.”

You can feed all the energy you want, just stop showing up our pitchers with your ridiculous antics.

“I’m a new-school player,” Phillips said. “I’ve always been like that. I’ve always been flashy. I’ve always been kind of talkative. I’m always smiling. . . . Some managers don’t like that. I’m sorry . . . that’s the way I am.”

Phillips isn’t new school. He is Hotdog school. That is all he was doing. Go ahead and laugh it up guy, things will be much different the next time we meet. I hope C.C. or someone puts BP on his ass and eats dirt.

I’m glad we traded him, he is a hotdog and a stuck up ass. He shouldn’t be forgiving us, he should be apologizing to Eric Wedge for not trying 100% of the time. Things didn’t go right when he was here, so instead of acting like a man, he acted like a boy and quit.
