[@cmurphy0707]

Myself and the other Astros fans used to call him 'Lights Out Lidge' because whenever he came out of the pen it was practically a guarantee that the game was already over and in 2005 he literally was that he finished the season with 42 saves and the Astros had a regular season record of 85-1 in leading after 8 innings. When he went to Philly I was crushed because he was my favorite pitcher on that team and when I saw him get back to his old 2005 'Lights out' self in '08 I pretty much knew that the Phillies would win it all and I was so happy they did and that my favorite closer got a ring.

I appreciate Joe Buck (and McCarver) for not talking for so long after they won. Just watching the raw emotion after the win with no one talking over it was great. I love hearing the crowd noise after Hinske struck out. Chills...

[@theman8034]

Matt C People give Joe Buck shit, but he does a good job of letting the moment speak for itself. I prefer subtle announcers over the “rah rah” ones.

[@ohhhhh6269]

Thank you for posting that! I feel the same way! He makes the call and shuts up! I’m not a big fan of all the outbursts after the final out. Keep it simple. When the Cubs won it I’m sure there were announcers going crazy but w Buck it was straight to the point and let the moment speak for itself.

That’s what I’m saying! Hopefully we can slide into the postseason here on 2021!!

As someone who didn't own a wide-screen, HDTV until 2013, I find these sports playoff videos really fun to watch. I forgot that as far back as 2006, lots of playoff games switched to 16x9, Digital signals. I remember watching this on a 20" RCA CRT set. The croping of the graphics on my old set went unnoticed then. Looking back now, it's funny to see how Network video editors used to format their screen graphics to accommodate 4x3 Standard Definition TV.

As a Sox fan who witnessed Lidge give up 2 game winning runs in save opportunities in '05, it was good to see him redeem himself in Philly.
