3 Decibels Doubles the Volume

If the Phillies got Halladay I would say there is a conflict but Lee, not so much. He is good but no where near Halladay. 4 Lefties in a rotation is never a good thing either.
Agreed, it is a good pick up. The Jays were asking way to much.
Lee is a ground ball pitcher

how is yesterday's game any way, shape or form a microcosm of boston's season?
"I don't believe in damn curses. Wake up the damn Bambino and have me face him. Maybe I'll drill him in the ass." --- Pedro Martinez
Phils are only 3 behind the Dodgers for home field.
As far as the conflict, it's the same as last year, I was at the Who show during the WS last year. It was such an electrifying experience being down in South Philly with all that excitement abounding.
We watched the fire works over CB Park while standing outside the Wachovia catching a smoke. It gave me chills to say the least.
Hopefully, we'll be doing it again this year, only with PJ in town instead of the Who
GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, you mean those same Dodgers we beat last year in 2 out of 3 games IN LA? Yeah, I'll continue to worry.
Oh, by the way, we're only three games behind that little NL lead you guys have and we have won 18 of 21. Look.....the fuck out.
Of course they are included, they are the defending champs but they are far from a lock.
The Dodgers are a better team than they were last year. Not saying they will beat the Phillies but they are better.
And, how would yesterday's game sum up why they need a top end starter? Bucholz pitched well enough to win and the team was up 7-4 in the ninth...
Uh, no he's not. Until the last season and a half Lee average 2 fly ball outs to every ground ball out.

Exactly, until last season when he became the quality pitcher he is. Before 2008, he had one solid season and spent a lot of time in the minors. Last year his GB% was 46% and his FB% was 35%, a polar opposite of the rest of his career when he struggled. I would imagine the Phillies are hoping they are getting the pitcher of the last year and a half, a ground ball pitcher.

don't be worried about this...pitchers going from the AL to the NL almost always perform better. The Lee pickup is a great one for the phils.
And I'm not scared of the Dodgers...at all. They have Casey Blake batting fifth. That's plain awful. Phils will pass them and earn homefield in the NL.
Can't wait to hit WS games again this fall
I am a Yanks fan so I have no interest except that it better not mean the Sox have a better chance at landing Halladay. Just my 2 cents. Good pickup overall, Halladay would have been huge, this is solid.
And we got the righty bench bat we needed. And Lee makes $6MM less than Halladay next year, which might be the difference in being able to afford to offer arbitration to Blanton.
GREAT deal.

The Dodgers had homefield last year too. How did that work out for them?
