Liberty Ball

Brad Lidge felt a twinge in his right knee Saturday while pitching batting practice.  He and the team decided to go ahead and have surgery to repair the small meniscus tears rather than wait and see if the injury fixes itself.  He is expected to miss 3-6 weeks.  He is hopeful that he can still pitch on opening day.  Luckily the injury happened now rather than mid season, and as much as I don’t like surgery, it seems like this is the best option.
