From Richard Justice's live game blog in the HC:

That's enough. There's nothing else to prove. Brad Lidge shouldn't be asked to close another game for a long time. He's simply too fragile, too unreliable. I have no idea what the Astros are trying to prove, but they should stop. They can't allow one guy's problems to sink an entire season.

They have options in the bullpen. They have to use them. Brad Lidge may or may not be what he once was. If he is, it might not be in Houston. That's not the point. Someone else should close.

The problem is Richard Justice likes to flip-flop his opinions more than I do. By next week, when Brad Lidge has two saves under his belt, it will be the same Richard Justice who is praising Brad Lidge and congratulating the Astros front office and Phil Garner for not giving up on him. You guys wait and see ....
