That pretty much guarantees he will be a Red again shortly.
Cory left under the huge shadow of being labeled a whiner and not a team player.

He won't be back.

Different owner, different GM, different manager.

Never say never in sports (or wrestling, cause who would have ever thunk Hulk Hogan and McMahon would bury the hacket after the steroid trial in the mid 90s)

Felipe Lopez, maybe?

Seriously though, any team would be nuts to pass on Lidge. He's still got killer stuff. He'll be fine.

Mark Berry and Tom Hume were there and they'll have a say.

I would make that trade. Even if you DFA'd Lidge the second after at least we wouldn't have Castro anymore. Not that I mind Castro as much as the fact that Narron still feels he is the best defensive infielder he has and that any day now he will be thinking with his heart again and bat him second.

If I remember correctly, he threw a dart or two on his way out. I'd be surprised to see him return.

But ... but ... but ... the team needs to update the "Pitch Like Cory" instructional video DanO had made back in 2004.

The children must be taught to pitch to contact.

Why would the Orioles want Lidge when they have Ray? Ray's been much better this year than Lidge.

Re: Rosenthal Latest!

I would hope that they are looking at Lieber. I agree. I wouldn't want Lidle back. It seems that he didn't leave here on good terms.

Re: Rosenthal Latest!

The last time cory lilde was here jerry narron was here so i doubt he comes back. He is to hoping you can find one more starter because we have a good shot the playoffs.

Or some gently used dental floss.

But not Brad Lidge.

Was Albert Pooholes to Brad L, as Jack Hamilton was to Tony C? One pitch, career ended?
