Cliff Lee Good Quotations

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.

It wasn't that bad of a pitch. It wasn't exactly where I wanted it. He's seeing the ball good and making solid contact.

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.

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.

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.
