With all the sucking the Phillies have been doing lately, it’s kinda hard to pinpoint one sucky player as the reason for their recent downfall. Jimmy Rollins is 0-for-his last 27 with four walks since the 19th of June, Ryan Howard has just one home run in his last 15 games, Pedro Feliz ...

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 ...

The Philadelphia Phillies bats would explode for four
runs in the 4th inning to overcome a three
run deficit to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. Chase Utley’s two run double off the centerfield wall in the inning would be the game winner. The Phillies got ...

Will Madson Close When Lidge Returns?
fantasybaseballhotstove.blogspot.com 6/15/2009 — Without Brad Lidge , the Phillies would not have won the World Series last year. They don't even make the playoffs. This is a new year, and after not blowing a save all last year Lidge has been a different guy this time around. After giving up 2 home ...
Phils Rally...But Fall - Madson Blows Another Save
myteamrivals.typepad.com 6/21/2009 — The Phils were on a 4-game losing streak - trailing 3-0 in the 7th - on their way to a fifth straight loss. They had managed 2-hits to that point - against one of the worst teams in baseball. What was happening to them? All of sudden, the seventh-inning rolled around, and the Phils ...
Welcome back, Lidge!
allthingsphillysports.blogspot.com 6/25/2009 — A few weeks ago, this blogger made a mistake. I called for Brad Lidge to step down as closer for the Phillies, to be replaced by Ryan Madson. I stand by my statements that Lidge needed some time off, possibly with an "injury", but 2 blown saves and a loss later, I realize that Madson was not the...

pabaseball.blogspot.com 6/23/2009 — ESPN contributor Jayson Stark is a Philly boy and a fine writer. I read all of his articles because he focuses on the "useless information" that makes baseball fun. Yesterday he did a piece on the Phillies losing ways (namely at home). I have taken the liberty of breaking it down for your ...
Bridge to Madson?
thefightins.com 6/9/2009 — While it may not be an appealing phrase, rhyme-wise, (just like how Lidge’s entrance isn’t appealing, musically) many people are suggesting that Madson be moved to closer duty, given Lidge’s recent suckiness on the mound. While the ...
Dead Headline
pabaseball.blogspot.com 6/22/2009 — When Ryan Howard jacked his majestic 3-run pinch hit homerun to put the Phils ahead on Saturday night, I had the next day's headline ready to go- "From Hospital to Hero". Much to my dismay Ryan Madson came in and became the goat. Things haven't been going too well in PhillieLand lately. ...
Lidge passes first test since coming off DL
weretheteamtobeat.com 6/29/2009 — In his first save opportunity since going on the DL, Brad Lidge came in and got the job done. It wasn’t dominant, he did allow a hit and a walk in the ninth, but it was save and that’s all we’re asking right now. It was also Lidge’s first save since June 1st. ...
How Sweep It Is!
myteamrivals.typepad.com 7/6/2009 — After one of the worst stretches of play for the Philadelphia Phillies in my lifetime, it was nice to see them sweep their hated rivals the New York Mets.
