Cliff Lee and his devastating curveball reached double-digits in strikeouts for the sixth time this season in his Philadelphia Phillies’ 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday night.

Lee dominated with 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings, bouncing back from one of the crappiest starts of the year in which he surrendered seven runs and three walks in just over five innings against…

Over the last few months I’d been hearing about how people were starting to give up on the potential of Justin Smoak.

Here’s some news: Prospects in the MLB typically take longer to pan out than in the NFL. Last season was Smoak’s first in the big leagues and we managed to obtain the young power hitter from Texas [...]

In his first game back with the Philadelphia Phillies in front of the 138th consecutive sellout at Citizen’s Bank Park, it was apparent how much Cliff Lee was missed.

The lefty fanned 11 batters in his team’s 9-4 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits behind a 14-hit Philadelphia barrage. He struck out three of the first[..]

If you listened to the New York Yankee fans here in the Big Apple, you would think that Cliff Lee beat up their first born. I really can’t get over the reaction to a guy who made a decision that was best for himself and his family.

Yankee fans are reacting as if not getting Lee, the Yankees are going to win 60 [..]

If there is a Baseball God, Cliff Lee returns to Texas and the Yankees sit and watch Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and the best pitcher on the market go elsewhere.

I don’t know Lee, but I hope he’s enough of a smalltown guy to ignore the seventh year of the Yankee contract and stick with the [...]

It’s okay, we know you do too.

Our undying love for Cliff Lee was cemented last night with his brilliant eight-inning, two-hit, thirteen strikeout performance during the Texas Rangers’ 8-0 win over the New York Yankees All-Star lineup in Game 3 of the ALCS.

Josh Hamilton, who had a pretty good view of the clinic from centerfield, smoked a two-run shot in the first, which was all the run support[..]

With the Texas Rangers 10 games up in the American League West, they are already making plans for the postseason.
The Rangers announced yesterday that ace Cliff Lee will move up in the rotation to pitch on Saturday, so he can be on schedule to pitch Game 1 of the ALDS. Lee will flip-flop in [...]

AL TEAM SURPRISE: Frankly, at this point there are not too many surprises in the AL. The top of the lot would probably have to be the Texas Rangers, who thanks in part to a very weak NL schedule, have managed to maintain a solid grip on first place out there. A team 3.90 ERA is almost unheard of for the Rangers, but mark [...]

It’s got to suck to be Cliff Lee. In the last two years he’s been traded from the last place Indians, to the NL Champion Phillies, who then traded him to a currently last place Mariners team. On how many levels is that not fair to a guy? A former Cy Young winner, still pitching like a Cy Young winner,pitched for three teams in the last two years[...]

Monday’s contest between the Mariners and the Diamondbacks saw the benches clear and Cliff Lee get ejected for… not knowing how to pitch?
Lee was tossed for supposedly trying to hit Arizona catcher Chris Snyder in the bottom of the third inning. There had been an incident in the first where Snyder ran into Lee, who [...]
