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!
