If that scenario above ever came true, it would be some seriously sweet poetic justice for CL

Of course, Antichrist32 would still think that Amaro was a genius…

How did Amaro treat him in the offseason? He got Halladay which was his goal. Did he talk poorly about Lee's family or something? I don't remember reading that. Unless he did that, I don't think he was treated poorly. Halladay is a better pitcher than Lee. Period. Lee is on a different plane in postseason granted and his first 8 postseason starts are perhaps the best ever. A team in 3 straight NLCS series' along with one world championship so far is a phenomenal job. It's simply a case of the Giants top 3 of Lincecum, Cain and Sanchez is very close and can match up with Halladay, Oswalt and Hamels. It's a great series.

All reports are that Lee will play in siberia if they give him the most money after this year. If there was no possible way for them to sign him after this year which I'm guessing is likely, they chose Halladay and tried to get something in return for Lee. I have no problem with anything they did, and they added Oswalt for the playoffs. The postseason can be a crap shoot and they may not get there, but they are in a great spot right now without Lee. They made their decisions and it's worked out fine regardless of if they beat the Giants or not.
