Philadelphia Phillies pitcher has made unconventional history. Cliff Lee (Getty Images)
He has become the first pitcher in the modern area, dating back to 1900, to strike out 200 batters and have 6 or fewer wins on a season. Lee finished with exactly 6 wins on the season and went 6-9 overall.
He gave up three runs in six innings in a loss on Wednesday to the Washington Nationals. He also finished the season with a 3.16 ERA.
He struck out 200 batters in 205 innings while making 30 starts. Lee, who is due to make $25 million next year, hopes to rebound on his horrible 2011 season.
The 6 losses were the fewest since the 2007 season. He had a 5-8 record that season in 97 innings.

BJ Rosenberg gets the start tonight.

The Nationals have nothing left to play for and will likely rest their regulars the final...

Phillies restructure coaching staff to implement succession plan

Via The Outside Corner  |  October 04, 2012
I pondered both in June and at the beginning of September as to whether or not the Phillies 2012 season would cost manager Charlie Manuel his job. Well, after a restructuring of the Phillies coaching staff after Wednesday's season finale against the Nationals, it appears Manuel will stay for 2013, but not beyond. Long-time Phillies coach Greg Gross, serving as the hitting coach...

Phillies review: September 2012 by Scott Butler 10/1/12 Phillies September Storyline The Phillies had a good September of baseball. A 17-10 September record in recent years would normally cruise the Phils into the postseason, but not this season. 17-10 was not enough in 2012 to continue the Phillies streak of five consecutive NL East titles, tied for the third longest streak since...
