I missed the game today (thank Lord Jesus:angel :amen ) but reading the boxscore and recaps both here and online, it looks like Brad Lidge really had problems. There is one positive. If he is going to be totally ineffective, I would rather this be exposed when we're down 5-1 in the ninth than if we're leading 2-1 in the ninth:shrug .

I still believe that the NL Central players who have faced him multiple times will continue to hit him hard. I didn't see how he threw today, but the line suggests he threw poorly:lol .
