Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports digs in deep (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=Anp.zH2dOmg02frOIKNpN8ERvLYF?slug=jp-lidge061407&prov=yhoo&type=lgns) with Brad Lidge.

To call Albert Pujols' shot off Lidge in Game 6 of the 2005 National League Championship Series anything less would rob it of its proper due. Lidge fired his fastball,...
I thought he hung a slider?

Well, I missed that reference. I was more interested in quotes such as this:
"We tend to do this, all of us," Astros manager Phil Garner said. "We point to one pitch, one event, and say it caused a catastrophe. No. There were events that led up to it and events that furthered it afterward."
And this:
"His mechanics were making it so that he couldn't make good pitches," Garner said. "When that starts to happen, everyone tells you that you have to make changes. So then he wants to add another pitch. And he tries a sinker. And then we talked about a splitter. And then he started cutting the ball. By then, he was totally out of whack."
And the fact that the Houston media only wishes for such access.

I'm not sure that it's a question of access. I think that the local 'journalists' are too fucking stupid to ask the right questions to get this sort of dialog going and elicit this sort of information.

Yes and no. No one in the organization will talk to Dick Justice. And the number that will still talk to The Jesus is dwindling by the day. McTaggart, however, is too stupid to ask the right questions.

Right. A crusade is the guy that carries Cheo's equipment bag for him.

You know, I once asked DJ privately how he could do his job having alienated everyone in the Astros organization to the point where they obviously will not talk to him. He was most offended, demanding to know why I thought he should coddle the organization.

Yellow. His 'journalism' is yellow.
