He can do no wrong in my book. I saw him hit the game winning HR in the eighth to beat the Yankees. It’s all good after that.

So that some team can take a flier on him when he is DFA’d?

CC is nervous. Do you know what that means? Means he knows this is his last start for Tribe

by Roger Dorn on Jul 2, 2008 8:56 PM EDT   0 recs

or thinks its April or October

I’ll ask again: who would you rather have for the next five years: CC or Cliff?

by mauichuck on Jul 2, 2008 8:57 PM EDT   0 recs

are we talking pure pitching ability? or factoring in contracts, etc?

by DontCallMeJoey on Jul 2, 2008 8:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Easy…..CC

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 2, 2008 8:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Are you serious? I’d take CC, ten out of ten times.

by Jeffrey R on Jul 2, 2008 8:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

at the same price? CC

The 2008 Cleveland Indians: Home of the Triple Steal, Unassisted Triple Play, and not a heck of a lot more.

by westbrook on Jul 2, 2008 8:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yep same dollars. And I’m dead serious. I think that the chances of CC burning out are higher than Cliff losing his mojo. I like Cliff’s fire. I’ll bet you if he wouldda pitched against the BoSox last year we’d have a WS championship trophy back in Cleveland

by westbrook on Jul 2, 2008 9:01 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i’d have to disagree. same price it’s gotta be CC. he’s younger, better stuff overall, more proven over a longer period. we’re fawning over Cliff, and rightfully so, but he wasn’t even on the playoff roster last year.

by DontCallMeJoey on Jul 2, 2008 9:02 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

You think the 2007 version of Cliff Lee (he with the ERA over six) would have won us the ALCS? I don’t remember you advocating that at the time…

by Jeffrey R on Jul 2, 2008 9:06 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Well yeah a little over the top. After all Cliff was injured. But I just don’t think that a healthy Cliff would have gagged the way CC did. His play-off performance was very, very disappointing to say the least.

Resident LGT beer kinda sewer

by mauichuck on Jul 2, 2008 9:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

But Cliff wasn’t injured at the time; he just wasn’t pitching well. Remember, he came back and pitched out of the bullpen in September.

by Jeffrey R on Jul 2, 2008 9:21 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I don’t think you would have written that last sentence last year during the playoffs. You can’t judge a pitcher based on 2 or 3 games.

by Buckeye Brad on Jul 2, 2008 9:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

For the same price, you’ve gotta be kidding me that you would take Cliff.

by supermarioelia on Jul 2, 2008 9:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Well talk after you finish your proctology residency.

CC has been my favorite player since we drafted him, so it’s not a fair question

Well I just swooned when Cliff gave those booing assholes the finger. Loves it, loved it, oved it!!!
