Phillies Closer Issues

What's going on with Brad Lidge? Eight blown saves this year after none last year has to have the Philles organization very concerned. Lidge is pitching the way he did in his last days in Houston, leading to his departure to Philly, and he seems to have lost all confidence. It's a huge problem in my opinion, and the Phils need to figure out Plan B and Plan C, otherwise it could be a quick playoff flameout. Perhaps Pedro could provide help at closer, or Brett Myers if he can come back from hip surgery. Myers though had a set back recently after a slipping while getting out of his truck late last week (must have been icy), and changing his story about how he sustained the injury, so a timeframe for his return is unclear. The injury and story itself raise questions, and it's not what the Phillies need right now with their closer issues. There doesn't appear to be any other pitchers who have cleared waivers that may be an option as far as I know, so it seems like the closer situation is going to have to be answered internally. However it is resolved and as well balanced as the Phillies are, to head into the playoffs with a questionable closer could be a disaster. With 6 weeks to go in the season, it should be interesting, and a little scary for Phillies fans to see how it all plays out.
