"Will Brett Myers please report to the bullpen... Brett Myers to the bullpen... Thank you."
Brad Lidge, the Phillies' new closer who felt something in his knee after throwing a pitch during batting practice on Saturday, will have arthroscopic surgery on Monday (2/25) to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee and likely miss three to six weeks.
First report of possible injury here [video report here]. Update here.
So a key free agent signed by the Phillies get injured. Shocker. [does hand signal]
Still, this could be a blessing in disguise. I have shared my thoughts on the the Phillies bullpen with the other Mike in the past and will do so here sometime before opening day.

ESPN was reporting this morning that Tom Gordon is expected to be the interim closer. Yikes.
