The Big Piece Bails Out Mad Dog
It just ain't Cole Hamels' season. Even on a night when he throws eight shutout innings with seven strikeouts, Hollywood wasn't awarded a win in the Phillies' 4-1 defeat of the Pirates. Because once again, a save was blown. It wasn't Brad Lidge this time, but rather...

Stop coddling Lidge. Demote him. Promote someone — anyone — to closer. Ideally Ryan Madson. Chan Ho Park would work. Maybe Brett Myers in a week or two when he gets re-acclimated to pitching to Major League hitters.
Lidge may only be blowing regular season games and the...

According to Chris Wheeler preserving a lead in the 9th inning is difficult; in his words, "closing is tough." He continually blurts this mindless crap over and over again as Phils fans endure numerous blown saves by Brad Lidge and now Ryan Madson. If closing is so damn tricky...

Ryan Madson gives up a one-out single to James Loney and a two out walk to Russell Martin. In between, Ronnie Belliard stole a base (he forces Loney at second) which replays show was an out. Utley blocked the bag, but it was so close and so fast the umpire didn’t see it.

Ignited by a Pedro Feliz grand slam and a two-inning save by Ryan Madson, the Phillies downed Houston 7-4 and can clinch their third-straight division title with a win tomorrow or a Braves' loss to Florida.

Quotable: Charlie Says Being Tired is No Excuse

Phillies fever turned into another tough pill to swallow. After sick slugger Ryan Howard gave his mates the go-ahead off the bench in the 7th, Ryan Madson gave it right back in the 9th in a 6-5 loss to the Orioles. The Phillies continue to find ridiculous new ways to lose at home,...
