When he was dominant for them and closed out their last WS championship.

Think that year he was something 42/42 for saves.

He rebounded quite nicely in Philly.

Someone alert Albert Pujoles


Holy hell...Could you imagine if we snuck Albert into our dugout and just as Lidge was about toss the ball he came running out like it was some WWE Smackdown event with a bat and a microphone.

Someone needs to get Pujols tickets right behind the plate. Have him just stare at Lidge during the first pitch.

Note: I have nothing against Lidge. It would just be funny to watch him crap his pants.

When did Brad Lidge become a legend?


I set this up for someone...
Right about this moment in time. Not all legends are good ones

well he closed out their last world series in 2008 and was a perfect 41-41 in save situations that season. So ya he's a Phillies legend.

He never faced Pujols the rest of his career. Was 1 for 7 prior to that in the regular season matchups.

****ing dweeb


Tool bag. What awesome unbiased journalism there ESPN


Only second no hitter in WS history. And they are trying to down play it. LOL

I'll ignore these losers.

All they had to do is get one hit, and then no one is talking about this.

Bryce Harper has no hits in 8 attempts in Houston's two wins, with 5 LOB

Winning this series is about pimp slapping him

He threw 66% fastballs in start 1 which is way up from the 50% he was most of the year. He was not throwing the slider. 28% down to 13%. I am not so sure the mix matters that much if the location is off. Too many middle middle or uncompetitive pitches for JV's standard.
He was high FBs early and that was effective. And for some reason ditched that. He and Machete were not on the same page several times. Lots of head shaking on pitch selections.

Just saw the 3rd press conference (KC, Miami, CHISOX) today and about 6th or 7th this post season with new managers, team resets, rebuilding and everyone says their goal is to get to and possible win a World Series. What a run we are on. We are here. Again. We are 2 wins away. Let's go!!!!

If I could sign up for JV to give us 5 innings of 2-3 run baseball right now I would
I want 6 innings of ZERO run baseball

I have confidence in Verlander tonight. If he holds them to 3 or less before handing it over to the pen, we win.

His FB started going higher too. I remember Machete having to reach pretty high for a couple of them

SIAP but an article on ESPN said Javier threw his FB 72% of the time last night, the highest is his career. Take notes, JV and Maldy.

It's the Texans. They are the worst run sports franchise currently in existence. And that's saying a lot as there are some real doozies out there.
