PHILADELPHIA — At the risk of sounding like the first chapter of a bad horror novel, it's a dark and gloomy night here in South Philly. The train ride down Broad Street was a somber one and there's a reserved feeling outside Citizens Bank Park before tonight's Game 5 — a do-or-die situation for the defending world champion Phillies. After the disappointment...

Life had been good for Brad Lidge and the Phillies last night. Well, if not good, certainly improving; Pedro Feliz had just hit a home run with two outs in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game at 4, and Lidge had dispatched the first two batters of the Yankees’ ninth inning without [...]

Game Four was a microcosm of the Phillies’ 2009 season. Starter not named Cliff Lee gives up too many runs in too few innings, middle relief does a decent job of keeping the game close, the Phillies catch up, Brad Lidge wraps the game up with a nice bow tie for the opposition.
Eleven blown saves. [...]

Brad Lidge and Cole Hamels were the Phillies' two best pitchers in 2008 and played key roles in their World Series victory. In a 27-hour span, their disastrous performances in the 2009 Fall Classic have all but derailed Philadelphia's repeat bid, Danny Knobler says.

While the pre-game focus was on the starting pitchers, game four came down to the closers. Brad Lidge started strong, but with two outs gave up a single, a hit batter, then an RBI double to Alex Rodriguez. That proves to be the winning run, but Jorge Posada added two more.

Several things stood out to me about last night’s game, so I’ll touch on them each briefly with the patented notes post.

It all started with an innocent, if not fairly common, telephone call from my older brother around 10am on Sunday this weekend. I was on my way back from the weekly run to the grocery, and when I picked up my cell, the one sentence I heard would change the path of my day and my weekend:"The team needs us, man.

PHILADELPHIA – The moment Johnny Damon battled back from 1-and-2 down in the count to Brad Lidge, fouling pitches off, taking sliders, then coaxing a single into left . . . the moment all of that happened, you had to know what we would get. You had t...
