Brad LIDGE defines the term "NASTY"

^^^^^^^^^

I prefer the term "filthy".

Lidge Is The Best Closer In The Game Today And A Great Weapon For The Astros. He Is The Second Coming Of Mariano Rivera Imo.

Except when I have the under

Remember seeing him close games earlier this year, his stuff is nasty, especially his breaking stuff, not sure how they can hit it, obviously most can't

If you're going on pure stuff for closers, I'd put K-Rod ahead of Lidge, but only by a little. Lidge, K-Rod, and Nathan all have filthy stuff and should be great for years.

He more than owns the CARDINALS also.........the Cards have something like only 4 hits in their last 85 at-bats against him!

Think about that...........thats like him throwing back-to-back-to-back one-hitters vs. them.

AMAZING!

he is hittable. i watched him blow some saves this year when i needed him bad. his era is 2.29 which is very good but, it aint eric gagne of 2003-2004.

Not bad for a guy that earns half mil a year

Was at the Hilton yesterday and as I was leaving the counter guy shows up with hottie in hand(guy looked like a rock star) anyways put $5000 in the cards on the RL, oops!! at least he has the hottie!!!!!:hump:

How about Roy Oswalt? i've always liked him. Great control and electric stuff. He explodes out of his windup. Nice performance yesterday.
