| The Phillies just locked up the division title, great move for them. I think this most likely makes them the team to beat in September. It'll be interesting to see what the Dodgers do to respond. | |

| Some guys are really good pitching for lousy teams when there's no pressure. Check out Lee's numbers the last season Cleveland was in contention.

| Top-shelf pitchers typically don't have their first good season at age 29. Lee's good, but if this is what the Phillies are going to have to settle for instead of Roy Halladay, then I'd say they just struck out. | |

| Moving from the AL to the NL will make him look better than people think.
It's just not as good of a league. | |

It's just not as good of a league. | I think the exact opposite. He is not going to be pitching against the AL central anymore. NL east is alot better than the AL central. He is a rollercoaster of a pitcher | |
