    Seriously, Lidge Is About To Turn The Corner

    We didn't get to pay much tribute yesterday to Brad Lidge losing his closer's job already, but hey, it's never too late to show that video from the 2005 NLCS. It's OK to toss this in, it's not rubbing it in, because the Astros won that series. Right? More »

    Being Brad Lidge

    We are accustomed, in sports, to one moment changing everything; it's probably the main reason we watch. But it's forever fascinating to see how one moment can affect a human being, morphing them from a dominant force of nature to a scared boy in big pants, alone out there. These moments can't make a player more talented, but they can sure make them seem a lot less. It's 80 percent all mental. More »

    That Taste? It's Veggie Deep Dish

    In the best response we've seen yet to FOX broadcaster Tim McCarver's ultimate foot-in-mouth moment last evening, the mad, depraved geniuses at Yard Work put on their miner's helmets to figure out what, exactly, that taste was in Brad Lidge's mouth that McCarver declared "not there." More »

    World Series Roundup: McCarver's Buckner Moment

    We don't mean to shrink last night's Amazing Scott Podsednik Moment into a moment of media criticism, but you're all going to be talking about it this morning, so we might as well lead off with it. Right before — like, a split-second before — Podsednik homered off Astros closer Brad Lidge, Fox broadcaster Joe Buck "asked" color man Tim McCarver if he thought it was a mistake for the Astros not to give Lidge an inning in Game 6 against the Cardinals in the NLCS to get "the taste" of Albert Pujols' Game 5 homer out of his mouth. McCarver, who actually had to rush his statement to get it out before the next pitch, responded with, "I don't think that taste is there." Then, Podsednik's homer. Needless to say, McCarver was quiet for a while after that. More »

    Why Is This Man So Excited?

    This is Astros closer Brad Lidge, and in this picture anyway, he's a very excited young man. (It obviously was not taken Monday.) There are many reasons he might be so happy. He could have just closed out an Astros victory. He could have learned that he wasn't going to be a lot of money for his car insurance. Or, according to The Bulge Report, he could have a Johnson the size of the Big Unit. More »
