Man this boy should have been on the bus. No excuses. Probably gave some stupid excuse, like always. Never ceases to amaze me. Just another example of the trouble that is created.

Perfect example of a player presenting himself as a "me first" kinda guy. Maybe after some personal reflection "riding" the bench might help, or not.

he still got paid for the game...so I doubt it bothered him too much, if at all

Yeah I'm sure none of you have ever been late for work in your whole lives.

Some one get this man the t-shirt, "you can't spell team without M-E."

They can't....

Yeah I'm sure none of you have ever been late for work in your whole lives

True but my employer also doesn't provide free bus transportation to get me there.

At least Bruntlet Played well.

It could be worse, he could act like the showboating ***hole in the other dugout. I thought I was watching a basketball game a few times this week.

In the long run, this will help the Phils.

Nor do we play baseball for a living I mean come on its not like he's a plumer or something...

Wow, anyone who would choose to drive in NYC rather than hitch a free ride deserves to be pooped on. What was he thinking? He's a great player, but man, use your **** brain!

Get on the bus Gus,

Didn't Randy Wolff pick up a girl on the subway out to Shea a few yeas ago? Much better move than sitting in traffic on the Grand Central.

Props to Charlie for sticking to his guns and benching an MVP player....

exactly...if all I had to do was show up to get a massage and then put my iniform on after a trainer taped me up so I could go swing a bat and play some catch prior to the game...knowing that I have hired help to handle all of life's responsibilitiies (grocerty shopping, paying the bills, getting the kids to their activities on time)I think I could get to the game on time.

Anyone who thinks the mgr is wrong here is just missing the point. we need more old school thinkers like this.

Last I checked those articles were in a newspaper talking about how the team was irked. So shoosh. Everyone complaines about everything bunch of babies at this party.

What the **** is going on with this guy? Did the MVP go to his haed? I mean he been great since he's been in Philly, now he is acting like a complete *** hole.

He didn't hustle on the basepaths more than once this season, too. He really came up small on this one, throwing in some BS about traffic. Boys make excuses. Men take responsibility. We need you to be a man, Jim, not a boy. I would have an ironclad rule that if you ever arrive late to a game, you ride the bus the rest of the season. If you can't handle the responsibility of getting to the ballpark on time, we can help you with that. We have a foolproof solution to your problem. It's called the bus.
