The Hypothetical Ultimatum

As time has told, the Phillies 2011 four-headed monster of aces can be further sub-divided to two. With Roy Oswalt's recently injury, and Cole Hamels lack of years, Cliff Lee and Harold Leroy Halladay are left; the two men who are writing the script for possibly the most consistent, most dominant 1-2 punch in Baseball History. Halladay never throws a pitch that doesn't move, while Lee never throws a pitch out of sequence. Both pitchers have factory made rubber arms, never quivering in late inning situations, always waiting for a day off to take a pitch off. Roy Halladay just recently tabbed his 11th win joining Jair Jurrjens as the top of the National League, where he is also second in strike outs, and second in ERA. Cliff Lee, who was "Cliff Lee shaky" to begin the season, won all five of his June decisions, only allowing one measly run in the month, and capping it with three straight complete game shutouts that put his record at 9-5. Aside from their most probable trips to Chase Field for this year's All-Star game next week, both Halladay and Lee will continue to pile up mind blowing stats, while being neck and neck down the stretch (along with Hamels and Jurrjens) for this year's NL Cy Young Award. Now here is the hypothetical ultimatum; if both pitchers had their full rest, and one game decided the season, who would Charlie Manuel turn to?
