Oct. 14 -- MYERS WOULD'VE CLOSED

BY SCOTT LAUBER

LOS ANGELES -- So, speaking purely hypothetically, what would have happened if Brad Lidge had thrown so many pitches in the eighth inning or to open the ninth last night that he was unable to finish the game?

Brett Myers would've pitched.

In a meeting today with the beat writers who cover the Phillies, Charlie Manuel said he and pitching coach Rich Dubee had sent Myers to the bullpen in the ninth inning just in case Lidge ran into trouble.

Interesting, isn't it?

Phillies are taking batting practice on the field right now. We'll have more in a bit.
