Cliff Lee Good Quotations

I got it done today. I really didn't have my 'A' game. ... I really didn't feel like I had good zip on my fastball today, but I was still able to locate it pretty good. I know I got them looking for fastballs, and then started throwing changeups a little.

We wanted to win this series and we got that done. To get out ahead of that team for the first time in a long time, that's a good thing.

To get off to a good start and put them behind us for the first time in a long time is a good thing. They got up on us last year and never looked back. Hopefully we can do some of that this year.

You can't miss over the plate with him -- him and Manny both. That's their team. Usually, Ortiz puts a pretty good swing on me.
