Here is the deal...


I don't want to see Brad Lidge (back row, directly behind President Obama) with a smile on his stupid face until he gets his sh*t together. Plain and simple.

I also think the next time I hear someone argue, "Well they just won it all, and he saved over 40 games. Cut him some slack", or, "He was perfect last year!" I am going to stab a chest or two.

Being great in the past and performing superbly on previous occasions will only get you so far. If a fire fighter showed up to a big apartment complex blaze and aimed the hose toward the other side of the street, where everything was fine, and allowed the fire to burn out of control while he had his back to it...would we argue, "Aw, don't worry- that's the fire fighter who saved that family of 6, their dog, and 2 cats last October"? No!!! So shut your mouth, softy. Brad Lidge sucks right now and should not be trusted to save games. Good bye.

Watch Out For the Bat Boy

Stop ice grillin' the Phillies players, bat boy. I am watching YOU. I don't know what is on your mind, bat boy, but don't even think about doing something slick. You might wear the Phillies' uniform, but it is clear that you are a Yankees fan. It's all over your pale little "I wanna grow up to be like the Robert De Niro character in The Fan " face. The World Champs should be cautious around this kid. He could be dangerous. ------------------------------------------- Follow PhoulBallz.com on Twitter HERE !

Hypocrites!

Seriously? Because David Ortiz was on the list ? Need I remind you all...? This guy was also on the list. Very smooth, Yankees fans. ------------------------- Follow PhoulBallz.com on Twitter HERE !

What the hell else was I going to write about...?

It will be too late for many people's liking, but it's really about time to NEVER USE BRAD LIDGE IN A SAVE SITUATION ON THE ROAD AGAIN. Lidge in 2009 road games- 0-6, 8.10 ERA, 15 saves, 10 blown saves. One of my favorite statistics that I regularly update here on PhoulBallz is the percentage of games that Brad Lidge has allowed earned runs in this season, compared to the 18% he allowed in 2008. This year, Lidge has allowed earned runs in 43% of his outings. And, as a reminder, in 2007 Brett Myers allowed earned runs in just 21% of his relief appearances. Considering Lidge's season-long struggles, what is the solution when Brett Myers is ailing with a back muscle/shoulder injury, when Chan Ho Park has an injured hamstring, when Ryan Madson looks just as inept in the 9th inning as Brad Lidge seems and when JC Romero is still unavailable to pitch due to a forearm injury? Well, on Wednesday night, with Hanley Ramirez batting with two outs and the tying run on 3rd base, your an...
