I think he felt that a damaged Lidge was good enough for this year's team. LIttle did he know that Lidge is no pitcher -- and certainly no pitcher for a contender.<br /><br />On the other hand ... shame on Davey for putting him in a position to lose two ball games for us. Davey does some things very well, but Davey is prone to giving up games -- Rizzo should be looking for his 2013 replacement.NatsFanSinceStarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16220565078095696610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-4752569591882519992012-06-17T19:07:31.363-04:002012-06-17T19:07:31.363-04:00Good bye, Lidge.

In a radio interview this week, Matt told us he was leaving Bangor Maine, and moving back home to Canada, to my own backyard. Woo-hoo. He sounded so upbeat during the interview it was clear any notion of a let down or disappointment over the way his career ended had long since passed.<br /><br />... such is the way of life, and Brad Lidge will move on as well. It's a dream come true for anyone to play baseball, and to play it at the highest level in the world is beyond words.

Oddly, I think if Storen had not been injured Lidge might have done well in that role of 6th or 7th inning guy and there is no doubt he was a huge help to our young guys sitting out there during a game. This also helps a hugely depleted bullpen immediately.
