I think many of us called it then....that moon shot blew apart his confidence. If he can ever regain that is a big question. He has the skills, but it's about much more.

I still think he broke his neck with how quick his head turned around after Albert's blast.

Not sure there's any merit in this. Donnie Moore was phenomenal in 1987. Dennis Eckersley was phenomenal in 1989. Byung-Hyun Kim was phenomenal in 2002. Any other relatively recent backbreaking HR's allowed by relievers that I'm forgetting about?

They're actually gazing at a huge pile of undetectable alligator steroids in the left field upper deck.

Mitch Williams is a really counter-argument. While he wasn't great in 1992 or 1993, he totally fell off a cliff in 1994. He could have just been really sad about the labor stoppage, though. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Mitch was great

"You can't hit him, but he might hit you."

Hahahaha. One season I remember he had more walks than innings pitched.

He certainly was the best closer in the NL last year once Gagne went down.

Oblique strains say hi.

He wasn't a reliever, but this was a literal career-ending HR: Rick Ankiel.

So what? He had better numbers than Lidge in almost every category last year, and has a better a track record as well.

I'd rather have Lidge than Wagner.

Lidge is younger, and more talented.

Riveria, Wagner, Eckersley.. They have all gone through periods like this.

Brad Ausmus said it best when he said "There are 29 other teams in the league that would love to have Brad Lidge. Luckily, we're the ones that have him."
