Brad Lidge

[Michael Knight]

Not dead yet.

Guess he just needed to get out of Houston.

That's a pisser...not for Brad (good luck to ya') but for the Stros. When I was growing up, following the Stros in the early years right after they moved into the Dome, it seemed like anyone they traded away became an All-Star or at least a lot better player than they had been in Houston. The first of those was Joe Morgan. This brings back those memories.

I know...it sucks, but it's not like the team didn't give him plenty of chances to snap out of it.

He was dominating against the Rangers last week. Sux for the Astronauts.

Hook'em!!!

The same kind of idiots who booed Chris Simms at UT ran Lidge out of Houston.

I am happy for Lidge! He was & is the most stand up guy you will ever root for. He did not back away from his struggles and answered the Pujols question everytime it was asked, even the 1 millionth.

The Astros are not really at fault for trading him because they gave him every chance they could, but it is not that big of a surprise to see him getting his old form back in a new environment.

Brad's days in Houston were doomed when Pujol's ball sailed over the left fierld wall in the playoffs and took Lidge's confidence with it. He needed a change of scenery and I'm glad he's done well.

Has that ball, and Lidge's confidence, come back to Earth yet?

If you ever met Brad you would know what kind of stand up guy he was. I knew his days in Houston were numbered, but I'm glad his career and new contract extension are taking off!!!
