🌄Sad News : Philadelphia Phillieshead coach just announced living immediately due to….♥️♥️♥️
Former Philadelphia Phillies general manager Rubén Amaro Jr. told quite the story this week on 94 WIP.
Amaro, who led the Phillies from 2008 until September 2015, claimed that he once called a 94 WIP talk show after a game, using a fake voice, to criticize the team and himself.
I’ve actually called in and faked my voice,” Amaro said on the WIP Morning Show Thursday, explaining that rather than sticking up for himself, “I was killing him.”
But some people are skeptical, and one Philly sportswriter in particular has called bull on that claim, writing two stories trying to debunk Amaro’s tale. Kyle Pagan of CrossingBroad.com wrote Thursday that “I can’t believe people are running with this like it’s real. … I mean it’s not like RAJ managed in 1999. Does he not think stations had caller ID in 2015? A producer would sniff this out in a second.
There’s no chance he’d risk being caught when he was already on thin ice. And if you think he criticized himself I have beachfront property in Iowa I’d like to sell you.”
Amaro doubled down on the story Friday in an appearance on The Phillies Show, even trying to recreate the voice he might have used.
No idea. I really don’t remember, I know it was late night, after a game, we probably got our a**** kicked,” Amaro said. “I was just playing around, I was playing a joke, I thought it was funny.
“I think I just did it one time, I thought about doing it again, I thought, ‘You know, maybe that would not be a a good idea, someone’s going to recognized my voice.’
Pagan still isn’t buying Amaro’s story.
“Just such an odd thing to lie about to make yourself seem cool and edgy,” he wrote Friday on CrossingBroad.com. “RAJ is the freshman in his first weekend of college who bragged about drinking a million beers in high school only to end up in a ditch the first time he and his new roommates go out.”
