Welcome your new DL buddy, Ryan Madson.
Madson was placed on the 15-day DL with a broken toe today thanks to the immaturity that resulted in kicking a water cooler after a poor performance in San Francisco on Wednesday.
Anyone else feel like the injury curse that the Mets faced last season is making its way to South Philly this year?
Ryan Madson displays what you do with water when not breaking your toe kicking a water cooler.
Luckily, Madson lasted until the Phillies were able to activate Brad Lidge from the DL. Lights Out Lidge should have no trouble stepping in for Madson, who posted a 7.00 ERA during the first month of the season. In fact, that was Lidge’s ERA last year. At least Madson was able to hold the fort down without Lidge.
The Phillies recalled reliever Antonio Bastardo, who was ironically sent down a day earlier to make room for Lidge. Hopefully, Bastardo never actually unpacked his bags in Allentown.
