So Brad Lidge blew his 11th game of the year and the Phillies' magic number stays at 5. It was a painful 9th inning but really it was set up by the 8th, when Ryan Madson allowed a run to score to cut the Phillies' lead to 6-5. You could easily say it was set up earlier, when Cole Hamels, who was good not great, let the Marlins chip away. Ryan Howard hit a ringing opposite field 2-RBI double, then followed with a 2-run opposite field homer. He's now got 130 RBI.
With 11 games left in the season, the questions about the bullpen become more and more perplexing and urgent.
