The guy is a great closer. He gave up one awful HR to Pujols which obviously was devastating as it lingered into the 2006 season but since then he has been lights out. The famous HR game was his 4th game in a row during that seris. He saved the other 3. His stats are especially good considering he has pitched his home games at 2 of the best hitters parks in baseball. He and KRod have close to identical post season numbers. I guess you forgot the 2 games Krod lost in the 2004 playoffs before he was even closing. The Phillies dont make the playoffs without Lidge. The Mets win the division by 8 games if they had him.
