Cliff Lee is F*%^ing Amazing

For the sixth straight start Cliff Lee was absolutely awesome.

Lee, who won A.L. Pitcher of the Month award in April, completely confused and dominated the New York Yankees Wednesday night leading Cleveland to a 3-0 victory. Lee finished throwing 104 pitches in seven innings, allowed zero runs on six hits, struck out seven and walked none.

Lee now leads the Majors with a 6-0 record and he's walked just two batters in 44 innings. That's one batter every 22 innings. Simply unreal.

Once again Lee used his fastball to set up his big hooking curveball. Lee spotted the fastball all over the plate -- high, low, inside, outside. He put it wherever he wanted at a consistent 91, 92 or 93 miles per hour. Then Lee would put the batter away with a 76 mile per hour curve and it'd be lights out.

Even the balls hit off Lee were dinky. Morgan Ensberg hit a dribbler that traveled about 7 feet down the third base side. Bobby Abreu hit a slow chopper to first which he barely beat out for an infield single. The Yankees just couldn't put good wood on the ball all night.

With the victory, the Indians guarantee a season series win over New York. After losing all six regular season games last season, it's nice to get a little payback with four wins in six games.

As for Lee, he's on cruise control at this point. His ERA dropped from 0.96 to 0.81. He had a 27 straight scoreless inning streak snapped last start against Seattle but started a new streak tonight. While the Indians continue to struggle, Lee has been the stopper all season. He's give the team a huge lift and it's keeping them right in the middle of the A.L. Central.

Right now, without a doubt, Lee is simply the best pitcher in baseball.
