Readers comment: Cholly's choices raked over coals
Following his 10th blown save of the season, many readers feel that using Brad Lidge over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. "Sorry, but after the last blown save in Pittsburgh as far as I'm concerned everything Lidge does to hurt the team is 100 percent on the manager. Charlie knows what he's risking every time he rolls Lidge...

Tuesday: A Labor Day parade of one-run losses
Houston completed the four-game sweep as the Phillies continued their bewildering rut with runners in scoring position (1-for-9) and watched the bullpen blow another late lead. Knee-deep in packing tape and moving boxes, and without cable and internet for most of the weekend, missing the Phillies turned into a blessing for Beerleaguer’s Grand Puba.

Brad Lidge failed to save his 10th game of the season. Perfect to imperfect in only one season. Just when Phillies fans think he may be turning the corner, he disappoints once again.
The question is where does Charlie Manuel, and the Phillies go from here. Can they really say in the 9th inning of any [...]

Blown Away, Again
With one out and the bases loaded, via two walks from closer Brad Lidge and a Chris Coste good-to-see-you-again single, the Phillies were about to narrowly escape with a win after Ryan Howard fielded a ground ball and threw home for the force out preventing the tying run from scoring.
But the Phillies comeback just wasn’t meant [...]
So Many Holes Have Opened

They aren't getting consistent pitching from their starters. They can't finish off games consistently.After taking two out of three at home from the Giants by the slimmest of...

The Philadelphia Phillies have lost three straight games, all against the Houston Astros. In any of their last six games, they have not scored more than four runs.
That being said, their NL East lead is 6.5 games over the Florida Marlin, who lost to the Nationals on Sunday.
Take a breath. It will be OK.
The upsetting thing, besides the hot-button Brad Lidge, is the team's lack...
