Did you know "Gerbil Dad" is an anagram for "Brad Lidge"?
I was hoping ANAGRAM 3000 would return something like "Mitch 2.0," but I guess not.
The original Mitch Williams, not the 2008 wannabe, was on the radio saying while he was watching Lidge almost blow the game on Saturday, he was incredibly anxious and freaking out and now understood why everyone hated him. Lidge pitched 35 pitches in a shaky 9th inning. Hamels only pitched 100 in the previous 8 masterful innings. Should Manuel have left Hamels in to finish the game? Did he bring in Lidge in a relatively safe situation to try and restore his playoff pitching confidence since the reason he is now a Phillie is because of his choking in Houston?
Oh yeah, the game... the Phillies did a nice job being opportunistic in winning game 1, 3-1, their first postseason victory since game 5 of the World Series on October 21, 1993.
