6 Straps – To Phillies ace Cliff Lee

We normally hand out a handful of these, but there’s an unwritten rule that says if you have one of the all-time greatest performances on your sports’ biggest stage, you get your own edition of Strap Time.

Cliff Lee was so good on Wednesday night, we’ve broken the mold and given him 6 straps out of 5.  How good was he?  He became the first pitcher in World Series history to not allow an earned run while striking out 10 batters and walking none.

The Yankees offense that led the Majors in runs scored during the season was reduced to looking like little leaguers.

He was so good that the overriding feeling coming out of the game was that C.C. Sabathia didn’t pitch well.   But take a look at the numbers.  He surrendered just 2 runs on 4 hits with 6 strikeouts over 7 innings.  On almost any other night, C.C. is the story.

But not last night.  Lee put on a show for the ages.
