ranked behind almost every team in the playoffs
Until Brett Myers (shoulder) and Pedro Martinez (small muscle thingie undoubtedly triggered by the insane decision to let him throw 130 pitches in a game last week) started aching anew, one could've made a persuasive argument that Brad Lidge doesn't deserve a slot on the postseason roster, much less the closer gig. From the seventh inning onward, the Phillies are essentially tap dancing among the land mines.
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.
