Phillies closer Brad Lidge was perfect during the team's championship season in 2008, but is struggling to find answers this season.

Lidge has a 9.16 ERA in twenty appearances in 2009, and has blown three of eleven save chances.

He insists that he's healthy, both mentally and physically.

"I don't feel happy with how I threw, obviously, but I feel like the ball was coming out of my hand good," Lidge said after blowing a save against the Yankees on Saturday.

"As long as I feel healthy and I'm throwing the ball like I can, I'm always going to feel confidence."
