Here's a philosophical pre-game question for you Yoda: In retrospect who would you rather have on the Phillies... Roy Halladay or Cliff Lee? ("Both" does not count as an answer)
Didn't say it was an easy question.
Hmmmmmm. That is tough. Well if I'm going on a body of work that includes the regular season and the playoffs then thats easy. Roy Halladay. He pitched a perfect game against Florida. I know, I know. It was just the Marlins. But you got to remember something. They are in the NL East with us and they play us really hard because they know us. And he threw only the second ever no-hitter in the playoffs and really it should of been a perfect game. Because one of the pitches he threw to the only guy he walked that game was called a ball and it was clearly a strike! But that's neither here nor there. So going on those two performances and add that he just doesn't walk anybody really I like the fact that if San Francisco wins this game it will be becuase they worked for it and they got timely hitting from their offense. It won't be because they got on base "cheaply", meaning they were walked, and ran the basepaths. Now, if I'm just going on postseason performance well then you would have to go with Cliff Lee. I don't quite remember his stats but if I'm not mistaken he is undefeated i postseason play. He is lights out. It's almost as if the other team conceides the game before it starts. So there is my answer. Halladay if you want to include the regular season and Lee if your just including the playoffs.
I just thought of something. Could you imagine if Philly had Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt, and Cole Hamels! World Series title here we come. :)
