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.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:02 am
Chase just went wow…Cliff Fucking Lee
August 1st, 2009 at 1:02 am
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?
August 1st, 2009 at 1:03 am
I love the tag and Cliff Lee. And the phillies got another left handed batter that is better than bruntlett.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:06 am
so easily we forget Cole’s CG shutout.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:07 am
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
August 1st, 2009 at 1:11 am
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.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:11 am
hahaha fantastic meech.
just fantastic.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:15 am
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:
August 1st, 2009 at 1:21 am
i’m gonna be the only one who asks? ok then. PHIFER???
August 1st, 2009 at 1:23 am
Yeah, the the 6′3″ assassin knocking fleas off his collar.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:31 am
Jeremy Affeldt was cursed tonight. He is not authorized to wear the same goatee as Jason Werth. That’s why he shit the bed.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:47 am
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
August 1st, 2009 at 1:49 am
I am in love with Cliff Lee.
August 1st, 2009 at 1:56 am
so i guess we only need to worry about lidge blowing saves 4/5 games vs the 5/5 prior to lee
August 1st, 2009 at 2:01 am
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.
August 1st, 2009 at 2:07 am
Lee sucks! He blew a no hitter on that crapper slicer to right. LAME
August 1st, 2009 at 2:08 am
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
August 1st, 2009 at 2:17 am
@ Meech – Funny you called him a 6′3″ assassin. Check our site, I dare you.
August 1st, 2009 at 3:04 am
Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
This guy- this fuhckin guy…. I love this guy.. get ova-heeah!
August 1st, 2009 at 3:55 am
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!
August 1st, 2009 at 5:05 am
Cliff did bang out 2 hits for himself, so it should at least equal to Boy Wonder’s start against LA.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:37 am
@4daysrest – it was a Tribe reference.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:42 am
Clifton Phifer Lee, motherfuckers.
August 1st, 2009 at 9:35 am
He is one fidgetty dude. Welcome to Philadelphia, Mr. Lee.
August 1st, 2009 at 9:36 am
Happ had a CG shutout against Toronto, so I’d call it the third best start
August 1st, 2009 at 9:52 am
Clifton counted to infinite, twice.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:35 am
@4days
take it eaaaaaaaasssssyyyy
August 1st, 2009 at 11:48 am
I am in lurve.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:59 am
I love this boy.
Not as much as I love Victorino – but coming up on a very close second.
August 1st, 2009 at 2:09 pm
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
August 1st, 2009 at 2:17 pm
@mcb and MikeY
Thanks for mentioning that, the guy’s been golden minus one start and we forget he exists.
August 1st, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Another Unintentional Cliff Lee Tribute.
August 3rd, 2009 at 9:42 am
Hey! Don’t forget about me! I had a CG shutout and my ERA is still lower than Clifton’s!!!
August 20th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
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.
Can you say a SWEEP of the D'Backs!? ^-^
