Lidge has been asked about that home run endlessly. And at a time when he finally has been less than perfect, it's easy to draw parallels.

Had Pujols done something to his psyche?

"Come on," Russ Springer said. "You know Albert Pujols has nothing to do with it. Brad is not weak mentally."

True enough. He's struggling because the Astros want him to throw more fastballs and because he has never had great command of that pitch.

Quote:
Lidge will be fine, too. He'll eventually arrive at a fastball-slider balance that works. Besides, the Astros can't go back to the playoffs without him.

Which is it? Pitch selection and control or Pujols ghosts dancing in his head?
