CJ Wilson and the bullpen combined on a 2 hitter [/quote]Can they beat the Yankees or Twins for a chance to go to their 1st World Series?? [/quote] Lee and Wilson are front line starters, the bullpen is good, and the offense has a good mix of speed and power that can manufacture runs. There is no reason they can't make the WS, but they need to win 1 more game first.
A friend posted this on FB: Where does Halladay rank among the great modern pitchers: Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Schilling, Beckett, Johnson, and Clemens? Roy still has some years left to catch up with those guys numbers. If he hadn't been hidden in Canada for all of those years, this argument may be a little different.
[quote name="bullets13" post="867210" timestamp="1286390826"] after two long innings in which lee gave up 4 hits and had 5 k's, which ballooned his pitch count, he had a much needed 7-pitch 1-2-3 inning in the 3rd. [/quote] Lee needs a few more quick innings. He is already at 50 pitches after 3.
