Lidge crying and whining about demotion

So Brad Lidge is upset about being yanked as the Astros’ closer. Oh, boo hoo hoo.

Maybe if Lidge would decide to stop stinking and get somebody out once in a while, he wouldn’t have to worry about such demotions.

UPDATE: Another story about Lidge’s demotions paints a totally different picture than the one from the Houston Chronicle. In the story on the Astros’ site, Lidge responds in an admirable way. I hope this is the more accurate of the two, and I wonder if the Chronicle’s story wasn’t sensationalized to stir up controversy.

    In the spirit of victim culture, I say “Thanks a lot Albert!”

    Almost forgot, what else do you expect from someone who went to Notre Dame?

    I was crying also. He is the only closer I have on my fantasy team.

    You should have picked up Dan Wheeler as a backup. I figured that Lidge would be one of the first closers to lose his job.

    Guess who picked up Wheeler just for that reason in our very own mixed league?
