Brad Lidge is warming up in the Phillies bullpen.

Wow, so he will pitch the ninth if it remains a save situation.

I thought my friend Phenomenal Smith said closers weren't so important?

If that's true, then why don't the Phillies just rest a tired and overworked Brad Lidge tonight with a three-run lead.

Surely any reliever can get the final three outs of a ballgame, right Smith?
