Three Way Blockbuster Goes Down

[leaffan]

That pisses me off.

Just saw sportscenter they had a poll on which team has the best 1-2 pitching combination. Surprise, surprise, King Felix and Cliff Lee got the most votes.

Too bad they won't sniff the World Series in 2010 and Lee will bolt after the season to the NYY.

[Obst]

By June, it'll be Halladay/Happ.

But we can all pray HHH all perform well this year.

[Chrispy]

Lee in pinstripes is a given. God damn Sabathia, Lee, Burnett would be fucking overkill. May as well crown them now.

:jizz:

[chazmaniandevil]

imo. halladay/hamels aint even top 3

lee/hernandez > lincecum/cain > webb/haren > peavy/buhrle = halladay/hamels

[chazmaniandevil]

also, carpenter/wainwright is prob 2nd behind lee and hernandez when carpenter is healthy,

[Mogriffjr]

blame Hamels.

Bottom line, someone needs to step up and become that #2/ace. Happ was closer to pitching like one than Hamels was. but we all know what Hamels can do when he's on...there's some question to if he can become that type of pitcher (well from what I hear on the radio up here).

the rotation as a whole is good though...

Cole is only one year removed from being a pretty damn good pitcher, one of the best in the majors at the time infact. His stuff during the world series run was dominant. If he can regain his form, the Phillies will have one of the best top of the rotations in the whole majors.

Someone with a clue. Hamels was the NLCS and World Series MVP in 08. He has the stuff to be one of the top 10 pitchers in baseball. The guy just had a down year. Halladay is already in the top 2(I think I give the nod to Linecum as the top pitcher in baseball), so you know what he's going to bring to the table.

I'm interested in seeing if Halladay can help Hamels develop a third pitch and make him become a better pitcher.

When Hamels bounces back and Happ and Blanton do their thing the rotation will be nice.

What the fuck are you even talking about? Assholes to players? If they perform, Philly fans love them. If they don't, Philly fans don't. Has it that being an asshole?

That said, thanks for Doc.

Classic Philly response.

I think you guys are lower in the sports IQ then the rest of the world.

And Pat Burrell did the same thing when he left for Tampa Bay. Despite being a complete underachiever considering he was the # 1 overall pick, the Philly fans supported him his entire time here. Just goes to show you that Philly fans aren't as bad as ESPN tells you.

Classic clueless asshole remark about Philly fans.
