The new Brad Lidge scares me (and I like it!)

Posted by meech.one at 12:50 pm ET 16 Comments

Since returning from the DL a week and a half ago, Phillies closer Brad Lidge hasn’t had many opportunities to close out games. His first appearance last Friday against the Blue Jays went horribly wrong (in a non-save situation), then on Sunday he came in to close it and got some help escaping that inning courtesy of the horrendous baserunning of Toronto’s John McDonald.

Finally, after a six-day hiatus from game action, Brad Lidge emerged the bullpen against the Metros yesterday with a sharp 96-mph fastball while sporting the beginning stage of a bad-ass beard for his first 1-2-3 inning in what seems like years. Needless to say, Grizzly Lidge was pumped.

I think, like most of us, he was outraged when he found out he was being split screened to make room for Manny.

Facial hair always increases abilities. Hell, just ask Sal Fasano!

Now that’s what I’m talking about. That’s what this team needs, fucking attitude! And that right there, is attitude. Scary.

Oh man, I just saw the video of Sarge juggling spare ribs and dropping it into Wheels’ lap. Someone please make a .gif file of this.

I love the new Brad Lidge too, but if facial hair equaled greatness, Brunlett would be an MVP-caliber player.

A lot of these recent posts seem to be eerily spot-on regarding the upcoming game. Can we get a post about Ryan Howard needing to hit home runs tomorrow?
