Fan trash talk: The Pittsburgh Pirates pitching staff is better than the Philadelphia Phillies rotation (Associated Content)
Cliff Lee stunned Major League Baseball by scorning the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees and choosing the Philadelphia Phillies as his next home. Cliff Lee will join Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels, Roy Oswalt and Joe Blanton, and many baseball fans think that it will be one of the greatest pitching staffs in the history of baseball. I don't think the Phillies' pitching rotation will even be the best in the state of Pennsylvania. That's right, I've got five reasons why the Pittsburgh Pirates starting rotation is better than the Philadelphia...

Fan talk: The ‘Philly Phour’ — the 2011 Philadelphia Phillies dream team pitching rotation (Associated Content)
It didn't take long to give it a name -- the "Philly Phour," as in, the starting four pitchers in the 2011 pitching rotation for the Philadelphia Phillies. Soon after the Phillies signed Cliff Lee in December, someone stuck that moniker on the foursome, which includes Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, and Cole Hamels. Some have already begun hearing "Flying High Now" (the theme from "Rocky") and believe they could become the best starting rotation in history, while some are suspending judgment until after they've pitched a few...

Fan trash talk: The 2011 Philadelphia Phillies have the best rotation in MLB history (Associated Content)
There's usually room for argument when debating who has the best rotation in the MLB. Truth is, there's no way of determining this, really, until the end of the season. But if there were ever a year that could have been determined before opening day, it'd be this one. Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt, Cole Hamels, and Joe Blanton. It's a rotation that if rambled off by some crazed fan maybe three years ago, the fan would be criticized as a man who lives in video game world -- possibly even a man who doesn't know anything about baseball.

Fan’s take: Why the Baltimore Orioles have the best pitching rotation (Associated Content)
Much has been made of the Baltimore Orioles' woes over the past several seasons, but one area they are a step above the rest is young talent, especially in their starting rotation. Much has been made of the Philadelphia Phillies rotation of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, Roy Oswalt, and Joe Blanton, but the Orioles are no slouches no the mound. Here's why: Age The Orioles rotation of Jeremy Guthrie, Brian Matusz, Jake Arrieta, Brad Bergesen, and Chris Tillman are much younger than the Phillies rotation.
