Plus the fact that DK was having a sexual relationship with team mate Dave Veres
wtf??
why no philly players in the news?? you wont be seeing any philly player talking good about lidle. 1 of the reasons philly played wellat the end of the season was the trade of lidle. this post was not to blast lidle but to comment that it is because of the plane this overblown non stop coverage.
-------------------------------------------------------
After being traded by the
Philadelphia Phillies in July 2006 at the trade deadline, Lidle criticized his former team: "On the days I'm pitching, it's almost a coin flip as to know if the guys behind me are going to be there to play 100 percent." He noted he was joining a Yankees team that expects to win all the time. - - "That's why I'm most excited about it," Lidle said. "Sometimes I felt I got caught up kind of going into the clubhouse nonchalantly sometimes, because all of the other guys in the clubhouse didn't go there with one goal in mind." - - In response former teammate
Arthur Rhodes said, "He is a scab. When he started, he would go 5 1/3 innings and (the bullpen) would have to win the game for him. The only thing Cory Lidle wants to do is fly around in his airplane and gamble. He doesn't have a work ethic. After every start, he didn't run or lift weights. He would sit in the clubhouse and eat ice cream. ... He shouldn't say that, he shouldn't say anything like that because he is a scab. He crossed the line when guys like me,
Flash and
Lieberthal were playing. He is a replacement player." <SUP class=reference id=wp-_ref-1>
