I've decided to delay Facebook reactions a day because of what we witnessed last night.
I wanted to avoid talking about this here because of how painful it is.
And it really is painful.
But after what we saw last night.. Wow.
It didn't really hit me until I saw Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia in the pre-day of game press conferences as is the norm for starting pitchers in the Playoffs.
Then it really hit me when I actually watched the game.
Two former Indian Cy Young award winners that were just on this team last year, now pitching in the World Series against each other.
Mass attention. Mass praise. Mass everything.
None of us are shocked by this right?
Everyone in the world is like, oh my god Cliff Lee. Well guess what, I expected nothing more from that guy. After 2008 we were all believers of Lee. And If we weren't, we were convinced after a few starts this year.
Cliff Lee is pitching on another planet.
And now he's a cult hero.
My contribution to #cliffleefacts?
Cliff Lee doesn't throw his curveball. He dares his fastball to curve.
People keep saying he's in the zone. Dudes, he's been in the zone since the start of 2008. I'm starting to think there is no zone, he's just that good.
This all being said...
As painful as it is, I'm getting sick of ESPN and FOX reminding us all about that pain. "Boy I'm sure Cleveland feels good right now."
Shadddddup!
Of course it sucks to watch.
We don't need your confirmations of that.
How are we feeling this morning that all aside? CC Sabathia did well, I still think we feel a little bitter towards him more than Cliff because of the team he ended up with. But Cliff Lee dominated and I think us Tribe fans all feel a little proud this morning that he did that. And also a little pleasant, even with a little pain, that he did it against the Yankees.
Oh and how about someone asking him if he was nervous?
He struck out ten Yankees. He stood there and just caught a ball like it was nothing. He casually reached behind his back to catch a Robinson Cano grounder up the middle.
That man is not nervous. That man is special. And for anyone that thinks Cliff Lee is fibbing by saying no he isn't nervous, I'll speak up for him as will most of us. That is Cliff Lee, not changing a bit.
