Video: Kyle Kendrick Getting Punk’d

Comcast Sportsnet has the full video of Kyle Kendrick being punk’d by Brett Myers and Co. Long story short: Kendrick is duped into thinking he’d been traded to Japan.

How elaborate is this: Myers got Ruben Amaro Jr., Charlie Manuel and Kendrick’s agent in on the joke. They set up a news conference in the locker room and had a trade contract prepared. Meanwhile, CSN got the whole thing on video.

Unbelievable. I felt really sorry for Kendrick when Manuel broke the news. But you have to give it up to everyone â€” they somehow held it together through the whole prank.

This team is getting easier and easier to love.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
