Twas The Night before Cliffmas and all through the Park,
Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels embark,
on a new training session to start off the day
and attempt to erase the memory of the black, orange and gray.
The rest of the Phillies ...asleep in their beds,
with visions of Championships playing in their heads.
The Phanatic on his 4 wheeler and Charlie in his cap,
looks down his line-up, and batting 5th there's a gap.
When all of a sudden, arouse such a chatter,
ESPN was on the scene to see what’s the matter!
Away from the Rangers he flew like a flash!
Flipped off the Yankees and told them to keep their cash!
When what to our wondering eyes should appear!?
A familiar face of a man who was just here!
With a nasty curve ball and a fastball that's quick,
an addition to a rotation that's already sick!
The most powerful rotation that's ever been seen!
The Big 3 is now 4, cause Cliff’s back on the team!
Now Halladay, Hamels, Oswalt and Lee!
Victorino, Howard, Rollins and Utley!
From the NLCS to the World Series we'll go!
100 win season? Ask Rollins he'll know!
Cliff came to our team cause he said it felt right,
Merry Cliffmas to All and to all a good night!

I think those days of anyone like a JD Drew not wanting to play for Phillies...are over.
Glad we did not sign him.............

Not half as bad as we will be when his contract is over.
'Twas the 13th of December
And midnight was near
Approaching the end
Of a great Philly year
The Flyers had battled
Lord Stanley was close
but the Boston series miracle
Gave us reason to boast
The Eagles and McNabb
Had parted their ways
And now Starship 7
Was guiding our sleigh
The Sixers, while modest,
Were starting to shine
A team on the rise?
We'll find out with time
The Phillies, as always,
Had, too, made us proud
But the silence of Howard
At the plate still rang loud
So it's the13th of December
And all through my home
Monday Night Football was ending
I was checking my phone
When all of a sudden
My eyes and ears froze
Whispers, then murmers
I saw the buzz grow
Could it be happening?
Could this be fact?
The arm of Cliff Lee
In the void of Werth's bat?
Then all of a sudden
The Tweet said it all
Mighty Lee is returning
to our boys of the Fall!
Rosenthal, Zolecki,
Stark and Heyman chimed in
WIP proclaimed it,
Then ESPN
I texted, I tweeted
Midnight phone calls were placed
The Phillies were King!!
The Yanks had fallen from grace!!!
And what to my wandering eyes should appear But the greatest rotation EVER; Baseball's most feared.
On Halladay! On Hamels!
On Oswalt and Lee!
With batting from
Rollins, and Shane, and Utley!
Because talk of this lineup
Arose quite a clatter;
But lest not forget
The sheer force of our batters
My eyes wouldn't close
Until quarter to 2
When I woke, I double checked -
Lee IS back! It's true!!
To the Phans of Philadelphia
An era brand new;
Merry Christmas to all,
And to the Yankees - F YOU
Nicely done! Love the last part...
