I wonder if they'd like to trade places with the Jays. They can come over and prove themselves in the AL East for a while. Not that I'm bitter, you understand. Sorry you're bitter. :)
While the AL is generally better than the NL, I'd put the Phillies up against any of the AL East.
I think right now we're looking at either a Cardinal/Yankees World Series, or a Phillies/Yankees series.
Cliff Lee is now 5-0 for the Phillies - I have never seen a more surgical, effective pitcher. He's like a left-handed version of Greg Maddux from 10-12 years ago.
