This team's problem was the bullpen, not some made up notion of "grinding it out" and "going to work every day". Maybe you'd like to see david eckstein at short since he's going to bring his lunch pail to short every day instead of Jose Reyes. Or perhaps you'd like to see cliff floyd bring his heart back back to the mets along with his .200 average. Or maybe you'd like to see jason varitek catch next year since hes got such a big heart! Lets just ignore that he was an automatic out this year. Do you honestly think that David Wright and Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran weren't trying hard every day? The only player you could make that argument for was Delgado, and seriously, would some random "consistent" player have helped him out mid season? No, he's an old veteran who was dogging it because of willy. Nice insight. I always love to hear the misinformed opinion of someone who has never professionally covered the sport or every analyzed anything based on statistics. Every team has streaks.

Although Lidge deservedly has gotten a lot of credit, I think the work of Durbin, Madson, Romero, et. al. played an as important if not more important role in the Phillies success. In other words, the 7th and 8th innings are just as important as the 9th. It is so about bullpen consistency.
