Merry Christmas to us Philadelphia, Clifton Phifer Lee, the coolest pitcher on the planet is coming back home! I heard the news while at work on Monday night in a real life Paul Revere type scenario (one of the nurses was going from floor to floor saying, "Cliff Lee is coming! Cliff Lee is coming!") It was a crazy night, and afterwards I had to give myself a pinch to make sure it wasn't all just a wild Cliff-Lee-themed daydream.
Aside from the obvious fact that it is exciting to now have one of the greatest starting pitching staffs ever assembled, I am also looking forward to not hearing the various "big three" nicknames that sportswriters were throwing around last season. (H20? What does that even mean??) On the flipside we better get used to hearing a LOT about Philly's "Phantastic four" (or "phearsome four", or maybe even the "phour horseman") the possibilities are endless.
To steal a headline from the Daily News:
Merry Cliff-mas Philadelphia! (And a happy Halladay!)

It almost seemed too good to be true when I turned on the radio at 6:00 A.M. yesterday to hear the weather when KYW blurted out the news that Cliff Lee was back in Philadelphia as a Philly.
Christmas came early for all of us Philadelphia fans.
What a season 2011 should be. How many days until pitchers and catchers report to spring training?
i myself liked the H2O name! but i'll gladly forego that nickname to acquire Lee! This year will be so exciting. Can't wait.
