In today’s Nooner, we got in a barb about how Brett Myers once beat his wife in public. It raised the eyebrows of our censors a bit, but we pointed out how it was nothing but the truth simply presented as a joke.

Of course, that doesn’t mean domestic violence is something to joke about. It isn’t. It’s an atrocious pastime and one we worry is probably still way too popular among people in places near wherever Brett Myers lives. I mean, don’t forget that Myers only apologized for beating his wife in public, not necessarily for beating his wife. You can read a lot more about it here. An excerpt:

In a telephone interview with the Globe’s Suzanne Smalley, 26-year-old Courtney Knight said, “He was dragging her by the hair and slapping her across the face. She was yelling, `I’m not going to let you do this to me anymore’ . . . She’s a real small girl. It was awful.”

The 25-year-old Myers is 6 feet 4 inches and weighs 240 pounds. His wife is 5-4 and weighs 120.

What a scumbag. When you boo this man on Wednesday in his start against John Maine and the Mets, boo vigorously. Keep in mind that this woman went back to this disgusting animal, and because she’s a ballplayer’s wife, it’s a safe bet that she’s really hot. That doesn’t make Myers’ actions any more or less awful, but man, how ’bout a little appreciation for the fringe benefits of your job?

Also, keep in mind when you boo the Phillies this week that the Phillies didn’t even suspend Myers for his actions. The incident made Myers and the Phillies the bane of the Major Leagues, but of course even more popular in Philadelphia. What a bunch of savages.

In other words, Let’s Go Mets!

The New York Giants traded disgruntled tight end Jeremy Shockey to the New Orleans Saints on Monday in exchange for two draft picks in 2009. Are we really unleashing this uber-douche on Bourbon Street? Haven’t the good people of New Orleans been through enough?

Mets pitcher Billy Wagner will have an MRI on Tuesday to reexamine his sore shoulder, and could possibly miss the first game in a crucial series against the Phillies. Without their regular closer as an option, the Mets will have to decipher who to use in a clutch situation, and consider the possibility that they may actually convert a save.

Backup catcher Jose Molina went 3 for 4 in a Yankee victory on the same day he learned he may be the new starter. Thanks to the possibility of losing Jorge Posada to shoulder surgery, Molina could very well be the regular catcher for the remainder of the season. In a post game interview Molina assured fans he is up to the task, and admitted that he had been hitting only .215 intentionally because he enjoyed the cushy hours of a part-time catcher.

Several confidants of Alex Rodriguez have alleged that his wife psychologically abused and controlled him, and even insisted that he downplay his Hispanic heritage in order to become a mainstream sports star. Several unconfirmed sources also claim that in order to keep his ego from getting too out of control, she demanded that he produce little to no offense in the playoffs.

Often disparaged receiver Terrell Owens is making headlines in a positive light for once, having come to the aide of an ESPN writer who was struck by a car following the ESPYS last week. Owens actually remained with the victim until help arrived, and even offered the writer a quick recovery plan involving a high-popcorn diet, shirtless driveway crunches, and public weeping.
