Memo To Cubs: No Crap (Or Doo-Doo) From Myers Tonight

Brett Myers, who faces Big Z tonight in Philly, is displeased with his performance to date (0-1, 6.30 ERA). But not to worry; he has a plan: Less crap.

"I've just been flipping crap up there," Myers said. "It wasn't working. I've got to put some type of aggression behind it."

Why wasn't he?

"I don't know," he said. "In spring training, I was doo-dooing stuff up there, and I was getting outs, so I figured I could take it into the season. Well, guess what? It doesn't work, because when the lights go on, it's a little different."

For the uninitiated, "flipping crap" and "doo-dooing" are terms of art in the baseball world.
