In case you missed it, here was Lidge's 9th inning:
Lidge, who came off the disabled list Saturday after recovering from knee surgery, walked Paul Bako with two outs to start the rally. So Taguchi dropped Corey Patterson's fly ball after a long run, and pinch-hitter Ken Griffey Jr. was intentionally walked.Thank God I was at work and did not actually witness this near calamity. Lidge better not make this a regular occurrence.
Lidge bounced a wild pitch that let in a run, then struck out Javier Valentin on a 95 mph fastball that plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt judged to be on the outside corner.

easy big fella. The defensive LF dropped a ball. and the wild pitch wasn't so terrible.
Gordon had a terrific 8th, hitting lo 90's and looking dominant.
The guy did look shaky. And I can't stand the intentional walks that put the tying run on base. The odds that the batter you are worried about hits a home run to tie are far less than the odds that he finds a way to come around and score once you put him on first.
Another solid outing by Gordon. 4-4.
