Thank you, Clifton Phifer Lee
Posted by meech.one at 12:58 am ET 37 Comments

Behold, the best start of the year by any Phillies starter:

EDIT: Besides, of course, Cole Hamels’ complete game shutout vs. the Dodgers.  Fucking sticklers.

He also said he was “super happy” to win and even called Sarge “sir” — the ultimate sign of respect.

    I heart Cliff Lee.

    Ruben Amaro Junior, well done.

  2. Philly@UMass Says:

    Chase just went wow…Cliff Fucking Lee

  3. mike Says:

    not the best start by a starter this year.

    Cole’s 96 pitch CG shutout against the Dodgers was the best.

    but….anyway

    ROY WHO?

  4. Brandon Says:

    I love the tag and Cliff Lee. And the phillies got another left handed batter that is better than bruntlett.

  5. Bob Says:

    so easily we forget Cole’s CG shutout.

  6. mike Says:

    Cole’s start was by far the best..

    and Franscico is awesome..he ripped the ball every time he was up..I really like him

  7. Swift Says:

    Cole’s shutout was great, but Cliff’s is pretty cot damned good. I can’t wait to see what he does the rest of the year.

  8. mike Says:

    hahaha fantastic meech.
    just fantastic.

    I think this was too ghey to put in the actual post, but Cliff Lee (for the second time this week) was a Trending Topic on Twitter:

  10. Joey Wade Says:

    i’m gonna be the only one who asks? ok then. PHIFER???

  11. meech.one Says:

    Yeah, the the 6′3″ assassin knocking fleas off his collar.

  12. Gonzo Says:

    Jeremy Affeldt was cursed tonight. He is not authorized to wear the same goatee as Jason Werth. That’s why he shit the bed.

  13. Griswold Says:

    tonight was better than i expected, and i’m drunk as hell, so wonderful! This is only the beginning. Cliff was spectacular and will continue to be

  14. Amanda Says:

    I am in love with Cliff Lee.

  15. al Says:

    so i guess we only need to worry about lidge blowing saves 4/5 games vs the 5/5 prior to lee

  16. maria Says:

    Lidge has given up a ton of runs lately but he hasn’t blown a save in a while. It’s too early to give up on him.

  17. muscles Says:

    Lee sucks! He blew a no hitter on that crapper slicer to right. LAME

  18. steve Says:

    cliff,
    welcome to the phillies! everyone will nit pick that you did it against a weak giants offense. please do this again and often to silence the “should’ve gotten halladay” morons.
    thank you

  19. 4DaysRest.com Says:

    @ Meech – Funny you called him a 6′3″ assassin. Check our site, I dare you.

  20. Drew Says:

    Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
    This guy- this fuhckin guy…. I love this guy.. get ova-heeah!

  21. ron Says:

    Fucker threw at Sandoval three at bats into his Phillies tenure. Cliff Lee is a is the best mid season acquisition since John Denny, and that’s like 26 years ago!

    Clifford the Big Red Dog!

  22. gm-carson Says:

    Cliff did bang out 2 hits for himself, so it should at least equal to Boy Wonder’s start against LA.

  23. Tug Haines Says:

    @4daysrest – it was a Tribe reference.

  24. Tug Haines Says:

    Clifton Phifer Lee, motherfuckers.

  25. Bronx Bomber Says:

    He is one fidgetty dude. Welcome to Philadelphia, Mr. Lee.

  26. mcb Says:

    Happ had a CG shutout against Toronto, so I’d call it the third best start ;)

  27. Chris Says:

    Clifton counted to infinite, twice.

  28. D. Whitmore Says:

    @4days

    take it eaaaaaaaasssssyyyy

  29. Eminencegirl Says:

    I am in lurve.

  30. Lindsay Says:

    I love this boy.

    Not as much as I love Victorino – but coming up on a very close second.

  31. MikeY Says:

    Umm, 3rd best start by a Phillies starter this year?

    JA Happ’s line from 6/27 vs. Toronto: 9.0 IP, 5 H, 0 BB, 0 ER, 4 K

  32. WB-Tony Says:

    @mcb and MikeY

    Thanks for mentioning that, the guy’s been golden minus one start and we forget he exists.

  33. Tug Haines Says:

    Another Unintentional Cliff Lee Tribute.

  34. James Anthony Happ Says:

    Hey! Don’t forget about me! I had a CG shutout and my ERA is still lower than Clifton’s!!!

  35. Leah Says:

    I love Cliff Lee<3 Not as much as I love Chase, hey hes hot! Haha. Cliff has a funny name! xD But anyway, Cliff is like a pitching god! Like have you seen his ERA as a Phillie? It's 0.28!! Thats insane! o.O J.A. Happ is also AHH-MAZAING!! Hes pitching tonight so yes, it call for an exciting night. :D Can you say a SWEEP of the D'Backs!? ^-^

  36. Jocksniffer Says:
