Apparently, Lidge will never be allowed to live down that game-winning home run he gave up to Pujols in the 2005 ALCS NLCS, never mind the fact that the Astros still made it to the World Series that year.

Imagine if Eckersley hadn’t won a ring with the A’s in ‘89. He would have been remembered first and foremost for letting a gimpy Kirk Gibson hit a walk-off World Series HR off him the previous year.

The comparison this year doesn’t fit. Lidge hasn’t blown a save in 20 opportunities. Wagner has blown six in 28 — not counting last night. If he’d held down the win, Lidge wouldn’t have been in a position to lose that game in the first place!

“wagner and lidge: not exactly shocking”

am i to infer that lidge is being equated to wagner? am i looking too deep into this?

cause if im not, this is a freakin’ outrage.

So in all the Yankee cockholding (the cuckolding was surprisingly left out) on this night, not once did they mention the single coolest thing that happened all night (as far as I remember, anyway). A fucking B2 Stealth Bomber flew over New York and the stadium during the national anthem. In the only camera angle of it passing over the stadium, you could barely see it because the vantage was from beneath Sheryl Crow’s superfluous guitar.
