October 2010 and memories of Cliff Lee with the Rangers





Looking back at the 2010 post-season, New York came to town for game 1 of the ALCS after the Rangers beat Tampa in the first round.    


Game 1 was a disaster:  a devastating loss to New York.   Remember how everybody was speculating that the Rangers would crack after that horrific 8th inning?

They didn't and you can thank the pitching of Cliff Lee.   He was phenomenal in the 2010 post season:


"Lee was 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in the 2009 postseason.

He has encored with a 3-0 record and a 0.75 ERA to date in the '10 postseason.

He is 3-0 against the Yankees in the past two postseasons.

In all three of his playoff starts this October, he has struck out 10 or more men, becoming the first pitcher to do that in one postseason."(MLB)

And so we remember Cliff Lee......and the 2010 AL champs.
