Curt Schilling, Scott Rolen, Billy Wagner . . . perhaps Endy Chavez? When you ask a Phillies fan to list his or her least favorite ex-Phillies, these names are undoubtedly going to be on the list.Billy saved 59 games for the Phillies in 2004 and 2005, and was named to the NL All-Star team in 2005. He left the Phils after the 2005 season and signed with the arch-rival New York Mets. (Pat Burrell would later reportedly refer to Billy Wagner as a "rat".)
Billy had Tommy John surgery in late 2008, which will cause him to miss the entire 2009 season.

Poor Endy...
Just never liked Endy. He would only pop up or ground out the pitcher with the Phils. Then he went to the Mets . . .
I hated Wagner even when he was with the Phillies. Also, I think the proper name was "Inning-Ender" Chavez.
Great nickname! I'm glad the Phils don't play the Mariners this year. Looking forward to an Endy-free 2009.
