Glad For Brad!!!!

When Brad Lidge complete the save in game 5 of the World Series last night, I cold not help being very pleased for him. Three years ago I was sitting about ten feet from the confetti cannon that was going to be part of the celebration of the LCS victory over the Cardinals by the Houston Astros, that would put them, and me, into the World Series for the first time.

Brad Lidge was on the mound and he had been phenomenonal the whole season. There was unbelievable electricity in the air. Then Albert hit the majestic home run that sucked the air out of Minute Maid Park.

Lidge suffered through the '06 and '07 seasons with a lot of intense pressure on him by the Houston fans. He was traded in the off season last winter and did not had a blown save all season. And Wednesday night he exocised the demons of seasons past.

Way to go Brad.
