Fact #something-something else

WS 3:1ish

Even Eddie Vedder is nowhere close to the man cliff lee, at singing.

But he's still pretty good, so all three contributors to this blog will be at seeing Pearl Jam performing in the last event ever to be held in the Wachovia Spectrum tomorrow night.

In related news from October 28th...

WS 1:10?

There is no Eddie Vedder, Cliff Lee also played at the spectrum tonight.

In addition to pitching a complete game in the WFS?? Damn that guy's good.

Cliff Lee Would Know How This Thing Works

But I never used it before so I don't.  And I need to test it before I head away from computer 'til Sunday.

So today's fact is that I am not 1/10th the man Cliff Lee is. 

And neither are you.  Or you.  Or you.  You - you might be 1/9th the man Clifton Phifer is.

But anyone who imagines they are his equal is dreaming.

Fact #8

WS 1:8

The yankees petitioned MLB because they were afraid to face Cliff Lee. As the DH

I still think the Phils should turn the tables on em by using him as the DH when he isn't pitching.

Great Summary of Cliff Lee Facts

Saw some of these bouncing around last night. Glad that there is someone else attempting to capture all the awesome.

13 Little Known Facts about Cliff Lee

The legend is growing.

Fact #7

WS 1:7

Answering Cliff Lee on every question of your SAT will guarantee you at least a 2000.

BEING Cliff Lee will guarantee you at least 10000.

Fact #5-6

WS 1:5

Cliff Lee's curve ball is only visible to the pure of heart.

It's true. Only those chosen by Cliff Lee himself can even see it.

WS 1:6

Anabolic Steroids take Cliff Lee.

Nuff said.

Fact #2-4

I'm a little biased here, but I liked this one.

WS 1:2

That ball came straight back to the mound because it missed his loving touch.

Others seemed to agree:

WS 1:3

Cliff Lee catches like a pimp

WS 1:4

When Damon hit that ball, Cliff Lee gave it the death stare. The ball did what it was told

This is when Clifton Phifer Lee started proving he was quite possibly the coolest human being to ever walk the earth. How often do you see a guy in the World Series so cavalier about making a catch? Not too often (and usually they end up looking stupid).

If you don't believe it, check the picture:

But he wasn't done.  Like the boss, he was out to prove it all night.  From his playful tag of Posada on the way to first to his brilliant behind the back play on a ground ball, he was the epitome of cool.  In typical Cliff Lee fashion, even when there's a few runners on and lesser men might panic, he may as well have been kickin it on his couch.  He didn't even seem to notice the rain to be honest.

This is all for me tonight, but the best and brightest of twitter's facts will be making it onto this page as fast as we can get them up.  Go Phillies!

Fact #1

This was, in this author's opinion, the first truly awesome Cliff Lee Fact.

Such simple words.

It just might be time for Cliff Lee Facts

Little did anyone know, they would change the world forever.

It didn't really take off at the time. Like the man himself, true greatness would only come on the largest of all all possible stages.

Welcome to Cliff Lee Facts

There was a good discussion of Cliff Lee Facts on the twitters today, started by the legendary IronyNOW. They need to be memorialized, a la Cole Hamels facts (or Chuck Norris, who by the way isn't fit to hold Cliff Lee's jock), but the domain name http://cliffleefacts.com is taken. Hopefully its' not by a squatter, but just in case I signed up for this.
