when people think of great lineups they first think of the 1927 yankees. now when they think of great rotations, they'll think of the 2011 phillies.

As someone who is rarely intrigued by baseball I have to say that this is pretty farging remarkable.

Phillies Agree To Sign Cliff Lee
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [December 13 at 10:54pm CST]

The wait is over. Cliff Lee has agreed to sign with the Phillies, according to MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan. The deal is worth about $100MM over five years, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post (on Twitter). That's far less that the $150MM, seven-year deal the Yankees offered (Jon Heyman of SI.com reporting on Twitter).

Not bad

Where does fatty end up?

Who gives a shtein?  Thanks for a few good years and helping to bring home a title. Enjoy Pittsburgh.

I won't sleep tonight. This could be the greatest rotation in MLB history.

[rjs246]

You're all idiots.

[Munson]

I assume you'd be happier if the deal included a public option, or higher taxes on the rich, yes?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Rangers offer was $161M.

With 6yr vesting option Phils deal will be about $120M

Beat Dallas, Phils sign Lee, win FFL game, Giants game this weekend, vacation next weekend...fapfapfapfap

I'd be happier if I had just left your post as You are ignoring this user. Show me the post.

But really I'd be happier if people would stop proclaiming this rotation one of the best ever. Maybe they should play a season first. Or a game. How about a game? One. Then you MENSA members can proclaim this group of 60+ game winners the BEST EVER!
