Since returning from the DL a week and a half ago, Phillies closer Brad Lidge hasn’t had many opportunities to close out games. His first appearance last Friday against the Blue Jays went horribly wrong (in a non-save situation), then on Sunday he came in to close it and got some help ...

SWEEEEEEEEEP! Phillies clean out the Mets
The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae —
... But the Phils best player today was Joe Blanton, who blanked the Mets for 7.1. Big Joe struck out five and allowed just four hits. He was aided by some great defense, but give him credit for inducing a huge GIDP. Aside from a JC Romero HBP, the 'pen was sharp to, with Chan Ho looking great and Grizzly Lidge looked like his 2008 self. In the first two games, Rodrigo Lopez and Jamie Moyer looked masterful. True, this is a Mets team that is a shell of its opening day self, but these guys put them out on the curb like the trash they are. ...
