Former Mets GM Steve Phillips continues to offer his unbelievable analysis for ESPN. What does that mean? It means more stupid things will fly out of his mouth. His latest stupid remark will not make any NY fan happy at all.
Steve Phillips has repeatedly said that both the Mets and Yanks will miss the postseason this year. This is coming from a guy who said in the beginning of the year that the Red Sox AND Mets would finish in 3rd place in their respective divisions. Steve Phillips has a better chance of being hired again as a GM than being right about that one or this new one.
The chances that the Mets and Yanks both miss the playoffs are not very good. The Mets have been the division leaders for almost everyday this summer. And with how hot the Yanks are of late, I'd expect the yankee-lover to predict that they would make the playoffs. I guess with his latest prediction, he has admitted he was wrong on this bold pre-season prediction:
A-Rod will be AL MVP, All-Star Game MVP, World Series MVP and then will opt out of his contract.
He's already lost the all-star game part and that world series MVP according to him aint looking any good.
Bottomline is Steve Phillips is not very good at what he does. Sorry Steve, but it's true. Ever since Harold Reynolds was fired, ESPN's baseball coverage has not been very good. Kruk is the best regular that they have and that's scary. Kurkjian, Olney and Gammons aren't really regulars, so I won't count them. Their newest acquisitions have not been very good. Their NFL team is excellent. They should look for ways to improve the MLB team.
