    I think he's bringing in Lidge!!!

    :eek: :eek: :eek:

    What a statement! (only if it works)

    EDIT: btw... Lidge has had 3 days straight of absolute rest... that's like a month off compared to what he was used to getting at the end of the season.

    Why did Backe do the running? we need to rest him. bad managerial move by garner :)


    meanwhile. Garner is stalling the Braves momentum because of this phone problem. nice.

    Again, I don't understand this at all. Oswalt is still pitching decent. He gave up a grounder double that was an inch away from being played by Bagwell and an infield single that was just hit to the wrong spot.

    Ok, after watching Joe Nathan go 3 innings last night, I'm concerned about this move.

    Wow.

    Lidge went 3 innings in one of those extra inning games against the Cubs last year, but this is gutsy, considering the rest of our bullpen.

    Well, Garner's definitely unconventional ...

    I hope this works.

    Lidge hasn't pitched in a while. He used to be a starter. We have an off day tomorrow. Phil really wants to win this game.

    Wow. He's really out there.

    Yea... but he has given up 8 hits... and Garner doesn't want the Braves to get any more guys on base, let alone the tying run into scoring position.

    Maybe he wants to shut down this scoring opportunity at all costs. IF they can get Lidge to shut down the nasty part of the Braves lineup, then Miceli or Qualls can come in and take care of the bottom of the lineup in the ninth.

    Just a thought.

    (hope I'm not too far behind the times)

    Forget about that... bad decision by Chavez... he had that base stolen by a mile.

    Nathan only went 2.1 innings.. If we are gonna win, Lidge is gonna have to pitch 2.2....


    Crap, SB and an error by Chavez gives them a runner on 3rd, 1 out.

    I hate the tomahawk chop.
