Local radio had JA Happ, an others, going to Houston for Roy Oswalt.

It's a shame about Kyle Kendrick, though. He and Brad Lidge should have
spent more bible sessions together in earnest, I'm guessing.

5 1/2 out just after the all-star break. Too early to cut bait and
play for next season.

I think they have 6 games left with the Braves. So, you're right, the
Phillies have quite a bit of control over their own destiny.

But for the naysayers I'm not liking Lidge and the way he pitched that

That's the good Lidge. That's what it was like for all of 2008.
Embrace the good Lidge.
