Phillies | Lidge given breather in Game 5
Ben Shpigel, of The New York Times, reports Philadelphia Phillies RP Brad Lidge was given the night off during Game 5 of the World Series Monday, Nov. 2, according to manager Charlie Manuel. Manuel reiterated Tuesday, Nov. 3, that Lidge is still the team's closer. 'I don't want to sound like smart or nothing, but I'm probably going to use him the way I want to, when we get there and how I feel,' Manuel said of Lidge. Then, referring to pitching coach Rich Dubee, he said, 'I'll do a lot of talking in the dugout with Dubee, and we'll decide on which one we want to put out there.'
