Lights Out For Lidge

Happy 090909. Baseball Season is winding down and the Phillies have a very big question they need to answer - What do they do with Lidge? He has been pretty awful this year and makes me think he is injured. They might need to shut him down, because it could cost the team a chance to repeat.

Ryan Madson has pitched well and if they shut Lidge down, Madson will probably be the replacement. The Phillies have the luxury of options for their post season pitching staff. It's time for everyone to buckle down and do their job. I think anyone of the top teams can win the World Series this year and whoever gets hot and rides that hot streak will do it.

This time last year, no one was picking the Phillies and they sort of came out of nowhere, this year, they have been leading the way most of the season. I think they need to be patient hitters and run counts deep and get to team's bull pens. All thing equal, I will take the Phillies Bull Pen over anyone elses.
