You can't put a price on a World Series ring, which Brad Lidge owns. However, with Michael Bourn becoming the player Easy Eddie hoped he would, and with seeing this story, it makes it a little easier, right?
This season, Lidge has looked more like the pitcher who couldn't find the strike zone to save his life in 2006 and 2007, the two seasons that followed a 2005 National League Championship with the Houston Astros.
He's simply looked lost out there on the mound. Maybe it's the dreaded "World Series Hangover." Whatever it is, it's got to be taken care of if the Phillies want any chance at a repeat.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
