More Evidence Darren Daulton is Crazy

[nsentv]

Former Philadelphia Phillies catcher Darren Daulton shocked friends and family today by claiming the Phillies are the team to beat this year in the National League East. The prediction is the latest and easily most insane statement to come from the retired player, who has made increasingly ludicrous declarations in recent months.

?I gave Dutchie the benefit of the doubt when he was spouting all this stuff about traveling through time and knowing the matrix of the universe or whatever,? said former teammate John Kruk. ?But the Phillies winning the N.L. East? The guy has freaking lost it. Totally lost it. Has he seen their pitching staff? The only way they win the N.L. East is if Dutchie travels back in time to the offseason and signs them some legitimate major league caliber pitchers.?

Daulton said he realizes many think he has lost his mind, but is steadfast with his Phillies prediction ? even revealing a specific date when they will clinch the pennant, just as he claims the world will end on December 21, 2012.

?The whole world will see on September 27, 2006, when the Phillies win the division,? he said. ?With some of the young studs they have in their lineup ? Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Pat Burrell ? I just don?t see how any team in the division can shut them down. Plus, the frequencies that dictate the universe portend they will win ? so that?s a pretty good thing to have on your side. The Braves and Mets don?t have that.?

Former Phillies pitcher Larry Andersen says he and other teammates from Daulton?s past are considering conducting some type of intervention or perhaps even placing Daulton in a mental health facility.

?We just want to sit him down and go through the Phillies roster position by position and then compare that to who the Braves and Mets have this year,? said Andersen. ?Hopefully that will allow him to see the error in his thinking. I mean sure, Howard, Utley and Burrell are solid younger players, but they?re also going to strike out about 500 times between the three of them. And that?s without mentioning David Bell and whoever they have playing centerfield these days.?

Daulton says that he will not allow his thinking to be swayed, no matter what his friends say to him.

?I travel to other dimensions, the Phillies are going to win their division ? it?s all true and no one can convince me otherwise,? he said. ?Now if you?ll excuse me, I have to go cut off my testicles and catch a ride on a spaceship. Have a nice day.?

Saw that on ESPN maybe George Noory could book him for an episode.

Didn't he say that he began being this way after he suffered a concussion or some kind of injury? I think I heard something like that somewhere.

Didn't he say that he began being this way after he suffered a concussion or some kind of injury? I think I heard something like that somewhere.

I saw that on OTL, like Tank, and he claims it all started at Wrigley in '97 when he was playing for the Marlins and that when he hit a homer, it "felt like I wasn't the one hitting the ball." He claims that a being from "another dimension" took over his body and hit that home run for him.

Which reminds me, that I saw that this past Monday was National Extrateristrial Abduction Day. Hopefully ET took him back to the 8th Dimension where he can meet up with the mothership so it can take him to see his new wife.
