Is Brad Lidge Back? Or should I say, risen again?

It looks like Brad Lidge of the Phillies may be back to true form.  He played awesome in his last bunch of playoff outings.  Pulling out an awesome save last night.  Maybe too much pressure was on him from having a "perfect season" last year.  So maybe he was just playing "normally" this past season and it is just that everyone and himself, expected or hoped for, another perfect season.  And when he didn't deliver, we thought maybe he was on his way out.  Except for Charlie Manuel of course.  His gesture to put Brad in the final inning of the game that sealed the division was a noble one.  But did you notice the way Ryan Howard would not throw him the ball to get the final out, even though he was practically standing on the bag?
