One of the “responsibilities” of blogging about your favorite team is that you need to put up fresh content in a timely fashion. Sometimes, I’ll start jotting down my thoughts on the game before the game is over. Tonight, for instance, I started writing after Ryan Madson gave up the lead in the bottom of [...]

His latest entry contained some nice things to say about embattled closer Brad Lidge, and a little about his ankle injury during last night’s game. According to Eyre, it’s just a mild sprain of the right ankle, and he’ll be able to pitch:

Ryan Howard's two-run double, followed by Jayson Werth's RBI knock, erased a blunderous eighth inning and capped a wild 5-4 ninth-inning comeback at Coors Field, setting the table for a rematch between the Dodgers and Phillies in the National League Championship Series. More tomorrow.

Yeah, I know it is not Astros news, but I like Brad.
It has been a postseason of Closers Who Fail - and interestingly enough, Brad, who has had, uh, his share of struggles this year, has come through, unlike Papelbon, Huston Street and Ryan Franklin.
What's that old Stones song - When The Whip Comes Down...
Got an, um, interesting comment purporting to be from "Jack Zduriencik...

Say, how about that great Phillies-Rockies game on Sunday night? So full of intrigue, back-and-forth action and even its own touch of umpire-fueled controversy. No doubt that America is gathered around its office water coolers and talking about what it just saw. What? You were fast asleep by the time Ryan Howard(notes) hit his game-winning sacrifice fly and Brad Lidge(notes) pulled...

Larry Bowa, Jim Thome, Randy Wolf, Vicente Padilla in the NLCS. That’s what Phillies fans were thinking about and hoping for in 2003. Well, it finally happened, but as we know, it happened with the Dodgers, who now face the Phillies in a re-match of last years NLCS.

Shane Victorino grabbed the spotlight with a grand slam off of CC Sabathia, and Cole Hamels worked his magic in the first round, which was just the beginning of an unforgettable playoff run.

That lefty vs. lefty thing? That theory that the Phillies got a huge break from Mother Nature with Saturday's postponement? That they could shelve the old righty, Pedro Martinez, for lefty J.A. Happ against the Rockies' lefty-laden lineup?

Cliff Lee and Ubaldo Jimenez match wits in a "win or stay home" game for the Rockies. Imagine that, trying your hardest to win a game for the chance to get on a plane and fly to Philadelphia.
That reminds me of a pie-eating contest I once entered, where first prize was a free night in Cleveland. The runner-up won two free nights in Cleveland. /rimshot
