It was quite the upset: in a stunning turn of events last night, pitcher Cliff Lee signed a contract for fewer years and less money than was offered him by the New York Yankees. Why? Maybe he wanted to be part of the best pitching rotation in baseball — the Phillies boast Roy Halladay, Cole Hamles, and Roy Oswalt. For more on the story we're joined by Dan Friedell, freelance sports writer. 

Last night was one for the baseball history books.  On the same night when one of baseball's living legends announced his retirement from baseball, one of the worst calls of all time derailed a perfect game for another player.

Duke's men's lacrosse team won the national championship last night, beating Notre Dame 6-5. For some, this brings relief and closure for a team that was still marred by a 2006 media and legal firestorm that included charges of rape and assault. The charges turned out to be false, but in 2006 Duke cancelled the Lacrosse season, and players received a 5th year of eligibility. Freelance sports reporter, Dan Friedell covered the emotional game.
