Stat Line of the Day

Cliff Lee's line vs the Dodgers
Yet again Cliff Lee twirls a gem, and yet again he comes up winless thanks to non-existent run support.  In fact, he's been receiving the 2nd lowest support of qualifying starting pitchers, receiving barely over 2 runs a game.  As dominant as he is, it's nearly impossible to expect him to give up less than 2 runs in every start, and it really is sad that he's still winless.  With Roy Halladay on the DL and the offense struggling, the Phillies should really be looking to acquire an impact bat, and will also be heavily relying on the return of Ryan Howard to provide an offensive spark.  Without an improvement in their anemic offense, the Phillies will not challenge in the NL East, no matter how good their pitching is.
