Cliff Lee is a Phillies!!! We did it!

I went away for 30 minutes and missed it. Holy smokes. Awesome. We still have Drabek, Taylor, Happ, and Brown. And now have Cliff Lee. Uh-mazing.

Does this help us at all in gaining on the Braves in the third order win standings?

If we get Roy too, I will walk around the rest of the season with no pants on.

Francisco has started 31 games in CF. Sweet!

never thought i'd say this but, lova ya rube.

I know there is about 1% chance of it happening but Operation Happ, Knapp, and Fap is still alive (just sub Haren- who I originally proposed- with Cliff Lee and now trade the important prospects plus the rights for Pedro's pet midget to the BJ's for Halladay).

espn now reporting finally

For the comments on the Fox Report:

"mark2626 7/29/2009 12:47:31 PM4 Lefty's in the rotation and 3-4-5 lefty hitters..WTF?"

Makes me think of the ESPN commercials - "Not everyone can talk sports".

When does Lee get here? I want him now.

by **Squire** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 14:07:14

How many third order wins is Lee likely to generate??

SQUIRE

Alright. Good deal. We kept our big 3. Amaro really stuck it to JP.

ESPN finally reports it.. pending physical, don't name the prospects but say does not include Happ, Drabek, and Brown.

Kurkijan says we're now favorites to win the division, wow thank god we made this trade I thought the Mets were going to sneak back in.

Kurkjian: Phils now the team to beat.

by **Eem** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 14:08:32

Just tell the "we're too lefty" overlords that the Phils are in the process of acquiring every tough LHP in baseball to ensure our lefty bats face only righties!

What this trade really does is wipe out our middle tier. Brown, Drabek and Taylor keeps us very top heavy but then after that it's a pretty big gap to d'Arnaud, May, Valle and company. I don't have very high opinions of any of Stutes, Worley or Savery
