Phillies' closer Lidge says his knee is healthy
CLEARWATER, Fla. - Somewhere in Haddonfield, N.J., sits a suburban house with a ballplayer's wife and a 3-year-old daughter. It's a nice place, Brad Lidge says. Safe, quiet and comfortable, yet not so big that his wife gets lost when he is on the road. Lidge is happy with it. But know this: He's renting.

Yes, the stakes surrounding Lidge's performance this season are as high as the elevations in his native Colorado, and he acknowledged it by arriving 3 full days before the first official workout of this Phillies spring training. He is in a contract year, with a surgically repaired right knee, coming off a disappointing end to his 6-year career in Houston.
