Lee gets the nod in Game 1 for Phils

Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel just announced that Cliff Lee will be the team’s Game 1 starter for the Phillies against the Colorado Rockies tomorrow afternoon at Citizens Bank Park.

After setting the world on fire when he first came to Philadelphia, Lee has cooled off considerably. Who knows that the Phils will get when he takes the mound on Wednesday? That said, Cole Hamels hasn’t inspired a ton of confidence this season either. This will be a real crapshoot offseason for the Phillies.
