Using a filthy curveball, Cliff Lee put the clamps on the Dodgers with 10 strikeouts over eight near-flawless innings, while the big bats ambushed Hiroki Kuroda in the first and kept piling it on, as the Phillies crushed the Dodgers and set a postseason record with the largest margin...

Todd Zolecki of MLB.com posted a couple days ago that the Phillies hadn’t set their rotation aside from Cliff Lee in Game One, mostly because they still don’t know who they will be opposing in the World Series. That, of course, has led to speculation and debate, so I’...

While some of you sat on the edge of your seats last night, nervously hoping that the team you put the rent money on in the World Series wins game 1, Cliff Lee was chillin'. On the mound. In his first ever World Series game. In the rain.

Never has anyone been so happy to go back to the Bronx. Oh my lord, did they make us sweat. I lost 10 years on my life in that ninth. This thing is far from over, boys.

Cliff Lee was down-right filthy Wednesday night during his Philadelphia Phillies’ 6-1 victory in Game 1 of the World Series. The placid southpaw, donning a nasty spike curveball, lasted all night long. He calmly allowed six hits and just one run, which didn’t even appear in the...

If there is a single fan base that will suffer the most at the start of tonights game, it most certainly will be the Cleveland Indian fan. CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee are the two defending AL Cy Young award winners. They both are slated to pitch games 1,4, and 7 of the World Series....

Game Four was a microcosm of the Phillies’ 2009 season. Starter not named Cliff Lee gives up too many runs in too few innings, middle relief does a decent job of keeping the game close, the Phillies catch up, Brad Lidge wraps the game up with a nice bow tie for the opposition...

First-year GM Ruben Amaro Jr. and his crew have steered the Phillies' ship deep into another postseason. After watching Cliff Lee slice and dice the Dodgers during last night’s “what to do” and “what not to do” pitching demonstration, I think it’s safe to say the Phillies’...

Cliff Lee is an absolute stud.
Not that Indians fans needed any reminder of that, but the performance he put on last night in game one of the World Series, was pure domination of a lineup that is probably the best 1-9 the league has seen since the mid-90’s.

The Yankee fan freakout-fest over last night was predictable and wonderfully amusing. Almost as predictable has been the media’s overreaction to Lee’s performance.
