Brad Lidge is saying that his shoulder feels sluggish right when they enter the dog days of summer. The Phillies cannot afford to have Lidge miss any time as he has been one of the best closers in all of baseball again and the Phillies only have a 2 game lead. Lidge is citing a mechanical flaw which has caused his shoulder to tire easily. He thinks he could be ready to go tonight but this is something to keep an eye on.
