Phillies bullpen?!

Another Brad Lidge appearance. Another blown save. Anybody surprised?

Memo to Charlie Manuel:

You have two weeks to figure out who your closer is and it ain't Brad Lidge. That thinking is SO 2008. You don't go into the playoffs with a closer with a 7.48 ERA. You just don't. 2008 was 2008.

You should be well into "tryouts" for this position by now. You gotta think "on the fly" here, you know.

Get moving!

Brad Lidge - Is there a witch doctor in the house?

This Brad Lidge stuff is bizarre. As in like Twilight Zone/Exorcist/Blair Witch Chronicles all wrapped into one bizarre. Something metaphysical happened to him.

Another day. Another bad outing. A 7.18 ERA this late in the year.

Is he going to give up a 5 run home run next?

Will he start to levitate on the mound?

Hey, forget closing. Is there room for him on the playoff roster? And as much as I hate to say it, on the team as a pitcher?

Can he hit? As a closer, when did he bat last?

Don't laugh. In his present compromised state (by what we don't know), he might be able to hit it 700 feet.
