A star-studded Yankees lineup somehow managed to make Phillies lefty Cliff Lee look unhittable in Game 1. Derek Jeter (3-for-4) looked to be the only Yankee who understood this is a good time to step up your game.
Gotta hand it to Lee, though. He was in total control. He reduced Bombers like Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez to flailing at pitches out of the strike zone, showing anxiousness and desperation rather than the patience and discipline the Yanks are known for.
