Jim Salisbury: Phillies' Gillick not sweating about Lidge surgery
Lidge's injury led to the inevitable question of whether Myers would need to repeat his 2007 move from the starting rotation to closer. (Myers would do it, by the way.) "He's absolutely staying," Gillick said. "Why should we move him? Lidge will be back." It's probable that Gillick isn't sweating this situation because he truly believes Lidge will be back shortly after opening day. At the same time, though, he seldom sweats things. He faced a disaster when Freddy Garcia showed up hurt last spring - no one was worried about him at first, either - but kept mixing and matching until a kid named Kyle Kendrick showed up. The loss of Chase Utley in July could have been a nightmare, but Gillick mitigated that possibility with a quick acquisition of Tadahito Iguchi. So, Gillick has a pretty good record in crisis management.

The weight of delivering the hopes of a nation seemed to burden Ghana, who started the match in scrappy fashion. Asamoah Gyan had the best early chance, having been played in by Muntari on six minutes before shooting wide from 15 yards. Gyan then found himself with another opportunity within 20 seconds thanks to a poor goal-kick from Guinea goalkeeper Kemoko Camara. .
