Brad Lidge, who had a dreadful season, underwent flexor tendon surgery and his recovery could set him behind schedule. Meanwhile, J.C. Romero could also miss the early going. Bottom line: bullpen is a major issue for the Phillies. While the third base debate continues, here’s the...

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.
