Phillies fans, it’s almost time to hit the panic button.

Don’t worry about the Marlins or the division lead. The playoffs will return to South Philly in October.

However, you need to worry about finishing games. Brad Lidge and his 10 blown saves belong in the junkyard.

Could Pedro be part of a closer committee by Columbus Day?

Ryan Madson has to return to his 8th inning role where he has excelled the last few years. That is his niche and it works for both him and the team. Madson has accumulated six blown saves in just 12 tries this season. He can’t be trusted either.

The popular thought has been that Brett Myers, fresh off hip surgery, would ultimately serve as the closer. Yesterday, we were reminded of how quickly some of his pitches reach the seats at Citizens Bank park. Myers is susceptible to the long ball. While chicks may dig the long ball, Phillies fans don’t when it’s their team in the field.

Who’s next? JA Happ? He is also injured with a strained oblique that has caused him to miss two starts and when he pitches again will be dictated by a bullpen session tomorrow, according to Philly.com. Plus, he has been your second-most consistent pitcher all year. Do you really take him out of the starting rotation in October?

OK, so how about Pedro Martinez? The man has been more effective than analysts expected. He outpitched Tim Lincecum last week. If he can pitch like that every night, he’d have to be considered. Can he do it back-to-back nights? This is a guy who sat himself in playoff games when he reached 100 pitches with the Red Sox. You simply can’t bank on him being effective on consecutive days.

The deeper the Phils get into September, the more questions they seem to have at the back of the bullpen. Is a rotating closer-by-committee approach possible? Absolutely. Pitching Pedro one night, Myers the next and mixing in Lidge might be the only option Uncle Charlie has when Columbus Day rolls around.
