Huge night is over for Cliff Lee
With that 8th run, that made the decision easy. Neftali Feliz is in, having had to deal with the abuse--and trash--thrown his way in the visiting bullpen. Cliff Lee can be satisfied with a classic postseason performance, eight innings, two hits, 13 strikeouts--tying his career high, regular season or postseason.
If the Rangers bullpen blows an 8-0 lead on a night when the Yankees fans are giving their club mock cheers for making outs, they don't deserve to reach the World Series.
