Brad Lidge...rut roh.

Imperor · 11-01-2009, 10:41 PM

That's, uh, that's a shame.

gump · 11-01-2009, 10:48 PM

way to go, mo. 6 pitches, 2 outs yesterday. 8 pitches, 3 outs today. keep up the good work...

Brad Lidge had to lose the World Series. It was the only fitting way for this season to end.

lazarus · 11-01-2009, 11:28 PM

Am I wrong in saying they should have just walked A-Rod and just taken their chances with Posada?

phillyfan26 · 11-01-2009, 11:36 PM

I thought that until Posada gapped one too. Lidge was going to give up a hit to anyone at that point.

Charlie Manuel lost this series.

Did anyone see that little round band-aid on Manuel's chin? I didn't know it was possibly for him to look like any more of a doofus.

And one could argue, Peef, that A-Rod opened the floodgates that allowed Posada to get the best of Lidge. Perhaps if he had pitched around the powerhouse, he would have had more confidence in disposing of the catcher.

phillyfan26 · 11-02-2009, 11:30 AM

If you asked me in 2007, I guarantee I'd have blamed Manuel for all of it. I guess that watching him prove me wrong for two years and just nail every move has made me much more unlikely to put blame on him.

For a second I was feeling really good about your chances, but then I forgot about the 2-3-2 format. Because Cliff Lee should be a lock regardless, and Pedro pitching back in Philly would be preferable.

Right now, you have to hope that Petite struggles on short rest in Game 6 and Pedro can keep it close again (he should still feel confident after that last outing), and then maybe the same thing happens to Sabathia pitching for the second time this series on short rest for Game 7. I suspect the Phils would be able to get to him at that point. Of course, they have to pitch someone too, and that's where the problem might lie.

phillyfan26 · 11-02-2009, 12:00 PM

I like the Phils' chances if there's a Game 7. The problem is getting there. I'm not even sure about tonight; a loss like that can do wonders on the psyche of an offense.

Hewson · 11-02-2009, 12:09 PM

If I'm a Phil's fan, this doesn't bode well:

Burnett is 4-0 with a 2.33 ERA in four career starts on short rest, though he hasn't tried it this season.

I really don't understand how you could like the Phils' chances in a Game 7. The Yankees have an amazing home record this year plus they've got all of them walk-offs. But, there will be no need to debate this because I highly doubt there will be a Game 7 or even a Game 6 for that matter.

Jimmy Rollins should have never predicted Phils in 5 or Phils in 6. He should have never made any predictions. He should have just gone out and played ball.

Cliff Lee pitched the game of his life last time out. He will have to do that again tonight for the Phils to have a chance. AJ Burnett also pitched the game of his life the last time he started. I don't expect him to do the same tonight, but if he can get 6-7 steady innings, the Yanks should be in good shape.

Because if they're in a game seven, they've won two in a row and have all the momentum.
