I like first place.
Me too.
2 of 3 from the Yanks in their home ain't too shabby.
I'm a little worried about Lidge though.
And we thank you for it.
Srsly ... what's up with Lidge?
From what I've seen, nothing is really "up" with him. He's making good pitches, but hitters are being way more patient and waiting for their pitch.
Everyone knows he doesn't throw the slider for a strike, so you wait until you see a ball in the zone and maybe this season hitters are just getting a little luckier and guessing right that it's the fastball.
When I say I'm worried about him, I just mean I'm worried that maybe hitters have figured him out. It's certainly not like he's hanging the slider, I haven't seen that YET. A-rod's homer the other day was a slider low in the zone that he just got enough of.
