Out of the many ways the Phils could have scrapped together 9 million, solution #38 would be to come to the fans. Tickets are $1.50 more for every seat. BUT, with that money, we’ll have Cliff Lee.

No one would complain. No one.

Lee is a year younger and who says Halladay will be that lights out in the postseason? Even the best can’t stack up to what Lee created.

Bad taste, bad decision, we could have done it again sans Halladay. Lee for a full season? Gold.

There’s no way to spend $9 million and have a thrift store christmas at the same time.

As a Mets fan, I will echo what I said to you last night—had the Phils kept both Halloway and Lee, it would have been time to start watching MSL soccer. It would have been a cakewalk. A team should always strive for titles when they are in their grasp–and Lee wasn’t expensive for this year. If they let him play out his contract, they get two 1st round picks—gotta be as good as what they got.

Strange move.

Got to agree with you, JG. To paraphrase “The Wire,” Lee is Real Phillie through and through. Prospects? We expect the Phils to decline sometime. Fact is, we could have nabbed another title. Would rather have another ring than be competent in 2012.

This is what I’ll remember most about that game:
