Brett Myers a New Pitcher?

Everybody do the wave. Brett Myers is sort of good, again.

The Baseball Tonight crew thinks Brett Myers has turned the corner since his demotion because he's 3-1 with a 1.94 ERA. Pretty good, but is he the real deal? Is this the Real Slim Myers? I doubt it. At the beginning of the season, I wondered why everyone thought he was going to be this great no. 2 or ace pitcher when 3.72 was the best ERA he'd ever had as a starter. Granted, he could be better this season, but he wasn't going to be spectacular. When he had a 5.84 ERA before the break, it was probably just a bad half, which makes this one his good one ... which evens out his season. Even Barry Zito has a good stretch now and then, so Myers is going to have a good stretch. He is a fairly good major-league pitcher, so he has talent. However, he isn't good enough to be great all the time. Can we say small sample size? His starts now will most likely bring him back to his average ERA. Baseball and 162 games has a weird way of averaging things out, but they always even out differently.
