Philadelphia Phillies and Contest Insurance

The Phillies are on a definite roll. The Los Angeles times summed it up perfectly when they reported that “Brad Lidge retired Troy Tulowitzki for the final out for the second straight night, sending Philadelphia to the NL championship series with a 5-4 win over the Colorado Rockies.”

The LA Times online article goes on to report that “Lidge's second save Monday — the other came just past midnight in Game 3 — was sweet redemption for the Phillies closer who went from perfect a year ago to perfectly awful in 2009".

He converted all 48 save chances last year, capped when he struck out Tampa Bay's Eric Hinske in Game 5 to clinch the Phillies' World Series title. But he lost his perfect touch this season — he led the majors with 11 blown saves, went 0-8 with a 7.21 ERA and briefly lost his job in September. Now, he's perfect in the postseason once again.

According to the article, Ryan Howard backed Lidge up by saying, “"I've said it before, people go through ups and downs. As long as he's throwing well for us right now, that's all that matters." The article then reported that the Phillies celebrated on the infield at chilly Coors Field before retreating to the clubhouse for another champagne shower.

"We know we have a long ways to go," Jimmy Rollins said. "So this is the last party.
The Phillies are playing the Dodgers right now as this article is being written. They are up 5 to 4 in the bottom of the 6th inning. It will be interesting to see how the game pans out.
