Well, must I say how frustrating the game was today? I think it's safe to say that we all are frustrated (with the exception of the couple Yankee fans here).

Anyone think Lee should have started Game 4?

And how exactly does one go about that? Mentally overlay an Angels uniform on Ryan Howard's chest?

I think it comes out of hatred for the Yankees.

Not if he wasn't ready to pitch on 3 days rest.

Lee claims he was ready and would have pitched had Charlie Manuel let him.

Although if the Phillies had beaten Sabathia on Sunday Manuel would look like a genius for saving Lee.

Stayin' alive, stayin' alive...

I nearly peed my pants watching that game. The Yankees are a very scary team, yes they lost, but they only lost by 3. And now we go back to New York, and of course I have to work the next two nights, so I'll miss the potential next two games.

I think I've developed a mancrush on Cliff Lee.

They lost by two. 8-6.

I hate it when people do that.

Apparently Lee is thinking about pitching relief in Game 7, should it go that far. Personally, I love it when guys just want to get back out there and pitch. Whether he can be effective or not is another story.

Will Charlie Manuel let him after not letting him pitch Game 4 when he wanted to?

Starting a game is a completely different story than tossing a couple of innings of relief.

Ah...I didn't read relief. Just that he wanted to pitch.

Honestly, I think they should've let him start game 4 so he could also start game 7 if needed. That's what aces do.
