You know what really ticks me off? It’s when players start blaming the media for things that have nothing to do with them.
That’s exactly what Shane Victorino did yesterday. They played Victorino’s quotes yesterday on the radio and he was saying that the media talks too much about the lack of offense and is media blowing up the issue bigger than it has to be. Wait a minute, so you just finished a 2-7 road trip where you are shut out every other day, an you’re blaming...the media?
Normally a comment like that wouldn’t bother me. The media generally is to blame and they will say or do anything for a story. But this team has scored 14 RUNS IN THE LAST 11 GAMES.
What the heck else are they supposed to talk about, Shane? This Phillies team has led the league in runs the last three season and they are barely scoring a run a game now. This is a boring team right now with absolutely no personality. The Phillies have dropped to 2 ½ games back and it is by no means the fault of the pitching. They are LOSING because of the hitting.
Trust me, this is not an issue the media wants to talk about or something the fans want to hear. You want to stop the media from talking about the hitting? Maybe you can start by scoring 4 runs in a game once. Just once. And how about not getting shut out every other game?
Stop blaming other for your own problem. Either take responsibility for yourselves, or shut up.
