Cliff Lee
Posted by Danielle Wilson Two words: pitcher's duel. That is exactly what this game was tonight for the first five innings which went by extraordinarily fast. Nationals starter Jordan Zimmerman pitched five perfect innings, and in five innings for Cliff Lee, he allowed just two hits; a double to Danny Espinosa in the third, and […]
Posted by Frank Klose New Era commercial The pre-game show on Fox Saturday baseball was all about the Red Sox and Yankees, even though locally we were to see the Phillies take on the Atlanta Braves. The commercial apparently were also for that series, though the one Phillies reference in a Red Sox – Yankees […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy of penachemag.comIn today's New York Post, Joel Sherman thinks back to the New York Yankees' 2010 in-season and post-season pursuits of Cliff Lee and where they went wrong, and I could not help but thinking about the Phillies' 2009 pursuit of an ace pitcher to help make up for the […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth When the Phillies acquired Joe Blanton in July of 2008, I wasn't exactly enthused. Partially because I probably overrated Josh Outman and Adrian Cardenas, two of the three prospects dealt for Blanton.

Posted by Stephen Gallo I’ll start this post off by saying that we are extremely lucky to have both Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay in our beloved city. Both of these guys play the game exactly how it should be played, with determination, focus, and class. They lead by example on the field, and it […]
Source: Philly.com/sports The Phillies offense gave Cliff Lee a seemingly comfortable three-run lead after two innings at the plate tonight at Turner Field. However, the Braves quickly responded with six quick runs of their own to knock the lefthander out of the game early. Ryan Howard hit a sacrifice fly in the top of the […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson I can’t explain how loud Citizen’s Bank Park was tonight. Why was it so loud? Clifton Phifer Lee started his first game as a Philadelphia Phillie in 2011. Cliff didn’t fail to remind us just how incredible of a pitcher he is. In the first inning, he […]
Posted by Stephen Gallo Courtesy philly.com Well, that couldn’t have gone any better, now could it? The Phillies had a stellar opening weekend series against the Houston Astros. It was a series sweep that showed off their tremendous starting pitching and timely hitting. The hitting was definitely a question coming into this season with Chase Utley […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth (The following email was sent to Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro, Jr. after the Opening Day roster was announced.) Courtesy prorumors.com Ruben, I just wanted to drop you a note to congratulate you on a strong offseason. You did a really great job this year. Signing Cliff Lee? Amazing. I don't […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy nysun.com Throughout Spring Training, something just did not seem right to Cliff Lee, and yet he could not put a finger on it at the time, as Lee went through Spring Training with an E.R.A. of 4.84, out of character for the left-hander. "I did not feel like my old […]
