A voice in my head just yelled the loudest F-word in history.

That's awful.

6 weeks is opening day so he better be ready before that but I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't. This season is off to another fantastic start. I'm ready to say hello to a sub-.500 April...

Well what do you expect when the Phillies only go after players coming off of surgery

Posted by: John | Sunday, February 24, 2008 at 03:40 PM

I hope he's back in time for the Mets series.

stop me if you think you've heard this one before

Looks like they say Tom Gordon will take over closing duties if Lidge were to miss any regular season games.

That scares me.

One word comes to mind: fuck.

At least it happened now and not in the middle of July.

I hope he has a good HGH dealer.

1 word: Pathetic

Posted by: sean | Sunday, February 24, 2008 at 06:16 PM

this is what happens when we get involved with Ed Wade... he continues to screw us

Posted by: cole | Sunday, February 24, 2008 at 06:20 PM

Yea why could the cops leave him stuck in that tree awhile back. It would have been a service to the people of Philadelphia.

Posted by: Mike L. | Sunday, February 24, 2008 at 06:29 PM

No fucking luck. Ever.

Posted by: Argive | Sunday, February 24, 2008 at 08:36 PM

I cant handle another April with Tom Gordon. Sign Kyle Lohse and put Myers back in the pen please!!!!!!!

Posted by: Shore Road | Sunday, February 24, 2008 at 09:38 PM

Why sign kyle lohse, so we can have another overpaid fuckface like adam eaton. I'd rather have open tryouts for closer, than have a fucking dipshit like lohse in the rotation and myers in the pen. Myers value as a starter is much bigger than his value as a reliever.

Philadelphia = Sports hell.

Really.

Posted by: Joe Manning | Monday, February 25, 2008 at 12:33 AM

At this point, terrible luck is almost expected.

Posted by: Lenny | Monday, February 25, 2008 at 03:37 AM

Brad Lidge is Mike Jackson. Just 8 years later, came from the Astros, not the Indians, isn't black, and has knee issues, not shoulder problems.

History repeats itself and unfortunately with the Phillies it repeats itself way too much.
