Another 1-2-3 for lidge

[sfphillyfan]

let's hope this continues so Lidge gets his confidence up for the playoffs!

His velocity is way down. Dude is cooked.

The Mike Sweeney era is about to begin though!

[sfphillyfan]

Both those statements make me sad.

"His velocity is way down. Dude is cooked."

I'd say he better get with Moyer pretty damn quick but that stuff Moyer threw the last few years just doesn't work for too many pitchers.

another nice showing last night

Run off 10-12 in a row and I might get excited.

He got it done again. Though he should have never been in the game to begin with. I would have let Baesz finish it out, he gave up a seeing eye single and a dribbler down the line. Charlie too quick with the hook in that spot with 2 outs.

[musicman]

tonight,McCarthy and whoever was on with him at the time said how Baez get's stronger with more work, yet Charlie doesn't use him. He has no problem running Durbin out there everyday,yet someone with a history of producing with a good workload doesn't see the field more than once a week.

[tinopuno]

Let's remember Charlie's strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths:
Ultimate 'Players Manager'
VERY loyal to his guys
Knows hitting

Weaknesses:
Loyal to a fault
Prone to wearing position players and pitchers out
Knows pitching? (not so much)
Whether age, intelligence, narcolepsy or all 3, Charlie makes some REALLY bad in-game decisions.

[Zepster]

Another good performance turned in by Lidge. The offense picked it and helped Roy out, after a not so hot performance.

1-2-3 again. He sure is coming around at the right time.

Meanwhile, in the big apple:

NEW YORK (AP)—New York Mets relief pitcher Francisco Rodriguez is in custody after what police called a “physical assault” on a family member at Citi Field.
Police say Rodriguez will be charged with third-degree assault.



Police say the incident occurred after the Mets’ 6-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night. Police did not say which family member Rodriguez scuffled with, but said the unidentified man had minor injuries.'
The Mets confirmed there was an incident between Rodriguez and his family, and referred all questions to the police.

Lidge was really impressive tonight...as was Frankie 'The Fuckstick' Rodriguez in beating the shit out of his father-in-law in the Citifielde family suite after tonight's game.

That story just warms the heart, doesn't it?

Something I wanted to do on more than 1 occasion.
