No, this not Bushwick Bill, former leader of the Geto Boys, but it is a little person equipped with the same overconfidence. One person who shouldn't be so confident right now is Phillies closer Brad Lidge, who's been suffering from a wicked case of the Pujols numerous times this season. Lidge blew his sixth game of the season — and his second this weekend — last night against the Dodgers:

"Maybe I shouldn't feel as confident, I don't know, but that's the only way I know how to do it."

Yes, maybe a little sheepishness is what Lidge needs right now.

Good morning. It's Sunday. Stretch yourself before you wreck yourself.
