You'd think the best case scenerio would be that he was a healthy, effective closer. But what do I know?

unfortunately thats not a scenario that currently exists

brad lidge got hurt once, so Wingspan hates him

[ice grillin you]

in his defense he was against this move from the start for this very reason

unlike pg who im pretty sure was for the move and is now killing the front office

I don't hate Lidge at all...

Bringing him here was a mistake. I said this from the day the trade was made. They learned nothing from the Garcia fiasco.

[SunMo]

but you can't compare a pitcher's knee and a pitcher's shoulder...totally different situations...


the guy had a hurt knee, and they knew that when they traded for him

Garcia was farged up before they got him and they didn't do their research, i agree with 110%, but just because he had a setback on a knee that was repaired you can't compare the two

[Wingspan]

When you are a power pitcher, your push off knee is as important as a shoulder.

[SunMo]

i'll buy that it's important, but it's never AS important...

[Wingspan]

I can not seem to find another hair to split here.

[Rome]

The section of his knee that got injured the other day had nothing to do with the section that was injured previously.

There's another hair to split for ya.

Because its their farging jobs to know if a player is damaged goods. That was my fault for believing they learned their lesson with Garcia. I figured, if healthy, this guy COULD BE (never said I loved this move) solid if back to his former form. Once again, the FO proves to be worthless.

[SunMo]

what do you mean?  they knew he had knee surgery...do you think he showed up on crutches after the trade and they had no idea why?

it's a minor setback that had nothing to do with the original surgery....everybody calm down

[reese125]

cool...he now has two sides of his one knee that has/is either previously or presently hurt

POWER

[SunMo]

[reese125]

you better work on that gut boy

[ice grillin you]

ill bet anything anyone wants that he reinjures the knee if not right away upon coming back at some point in the first few months of the season
