George, only Hamels has a World Series championship ring......that's what I meant. Lee has gotten there a couple times but that means next to nothing unless your goal is to collect pennants.

but you said they have to prove it come playoff time and they have, all of them. It isnt Lee's fault he hasnt had run support, same with Halladay and Oswalt. They are all proven pitchers in the regular and post season. THe entire offense is healthy right now and they are 20+ games over 500. they won their last 9 series. If that Offense stays healthy, they are the favorites to win it all.
I love how the baseball purists continue to justify the lack of instant replay. Seriously, it's not going to slow down your precious game if you have to review an obvious blown call once in a good while. It would have taken all of 10 seconds to call him out using replay.
LOS ANGELES --The Yankees and Red Sox made calls to the Rockies on Tuesday about the availability of their ace pitcher, Ubaldo Jimenez, and information has surfaced as to the price the Rockies are asking. Even though the Major Leagues' two highest-profile franchises are making calls, it appears things are further along with the Reds. Word in the industry is the Rockies require starting pitchers Travis Wood and Homer Bailey, plus one of two young stars -- flame-throwing left-handed pitcher Aroldis Chapman or top catching prospect Devin Mesoraco, currently at Triple-A Louisville. Another name that has come up in talks between the teams is prized first base-outfield prospect Yonder Alonso, but the Reds called him up from Louisville on Tuesday after trading Jonny Gomes to the Nationals for two prospects, left-handed pitcher Chris Manno and outfielder-first baseman Bill Rhinehart. The New York Post and ESPN have reported that the Blue Jays have expressed interest. According to a Major League Baseball source, the Rockies are not going to come down on their asking price, no matter which team makes the offer. They're basically waiting on a team to blink, which means talks could continue all the way to the Sunday 2 p.m. MT non-waiver Trade Deadline. In other possible trade news, the Rockies placed first baseman Jason Giambi on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a left quadriceps strain, which likely will mean he won't be dealt before the Deadline. However, the Rockies could still deal him after the Deadline by having him pass through waivers. As long as Giambi is with his new team by Sept. 1, he will be eligible for the postseason roster. Giambi, 40, a backup first baseman and left-handed pinch-hitter, has been one of baseball's most productive players per plate appearance, with a .260 batting average and .357 on-base percentage, 10 home runs and 24 RBIs in 96 at-bats and 112 plate appearances. Giambi suffered the injury while running to first base in the ninth inning of Monday night's 8-5 loss to the Dodgers.

lee while great in the playoffs has a career 4.55 era in the world series....and against those giants he was terrible when his team needed him most 6+ era last year
If they're insistent, maybe they'll drop their asking price as it gets closer to the deadline......I still have my reservations about sucking the farm dry to get him.

On another note if I was the ump I would have said " fuck you I just want to go home and watch deadliest catch finale"
