Professional career

Early Years

Lilly broke into the majors with the Montreal Expos in 1999, pitching in only nine games that year before being traded to the New York Yankees as part of a trade involving Hideki Irabu. Franchise history Creation of the franchise In 1960 Montreal lost its International League team the Montreal Royals (an affiliate of The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the borough of The Bronx, in New York City, New York. Hideki Irabu ( Japanese: 伊良部 秀輝 born in Hirara (now Miyakojima) Okinawa Prefecture, Japan on May 15, [1] Lilly played two plus years for the Yankees before being dealt to the Oakland Athletics in a three team deal that included pitchers Jeff Weaver heading to New York and Jeremy Bonderman going to the Detroit Tigers. The Oakland Athletics are a professional baseball team based in Oakland, California.

The Detroit Tigers are a professional baseball team based in Detroit, Michigan, USA Lilly was in the starting rotation for Oakland, and pitched in the American League Division Series in both 2002 and 2003.

2004 Season

Lilly was traded from the Athletics to the Blue Jays for Bobby Kielty. Robert Michael Kielty (last name pronounced KELT-ee (born August 5, 1976 in Fontana, California) is an American Outfielder [2] He made the American League All-Star team in 2004 as the Jays' lone representative that year. The Major League Baseball All-Star Game, also popularly known as the "Midsummer Classic" is an annual Baseball game between players from the National League

The highlight of his career as a Blue Jay was a start on August 23, 2004 against the Boston Red Sox. The Boston Red Sox are a Professional baseball team based in Boston Massachusetts, and are the reigning (2007 World Series Champions. He pitched a complete-game shutout and struck out 13 batters in a three-hit 3-0 victory.

2006 Season

Lilly was 15-13 with a 4. 31 ERA and 160 strikeouts in 2006, exceeding his previous career high for wins (12). He also equalled a career high for starts (32) and nearly matched his career highs in strikeouts and innings pitched. This season, he ranked first among the Jays' pitching staff in strikeouts and second only to Roy Halladay in wins (Halladay had a 16-5 record before a recurring elbow injury ended his season in late September). Harry Leroy Halladay III (born May 14 1977 nicknamed Doc, is a Major League Baseball Starting pitcher.

On August 21, 2006, in a game against the Oakland Athletics, Lilly was surrendering an early 8-0 lead in the 3rd inning when manager John Gibbons took him out of the game with the score 8-5 and runners on 1st & 3rd, and Lilly refused to give him the ball. Events 1192 - Minamoto Yoritomo becomes Seii Tai Shōgun and the De facto ruler of Japan. The Oakland Athletics are a professional baseball team based in Oakland, California. John Michael Gibbons (born June 8 1962, in Great Falls Montana) was the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays in Major League Baseball Eventually, he reluctantly left the mound and later feuded with Gibbons in the locker room, though Gibbons attains no punches were thrown. Ted Lilly declared for free agency at the end of the 2006 season, and alongside Barry Zito, Jason Schmidt and Jeff Suppan, was one of the most sought-after free agent pitchers, partially due to the thin market for starting pitching. On the morning of December 6, 2006, Ted informed the Blue Jays that he would not be returning to the club, thus rejecting a four year, $40 million deal. Events 1060 - Béla I of Hungary is crowned king of Hungary 1240 - Mongol invasion of Rus: Kiev 2006 Major League Baseball season|2006 Nippon Professional Baseball season Headline Event of the Year The 2006 World Baseball Classic is a surprise success He cited a "change in scenery" as his reasoning. Later on that day, Ted agreed to an identical four year, $40 million deal with the Chicago Cubs, officially ending his tenure with the Blue Jays. [3]

2007 Season

In his first start for the Cubs, Lilly defeated the Cincinnati Reds in a strong outing, taking a no hitter into the fifth inning, and only yielding one earned run over seven innings. [4] Lilly then was the starting pitcher for the Cubs home opening game at Wrigley Field on April 9, 2007. Wrigley Field is a Baseball Stadium in Chicago, Illinois, United States that has served as the home ballpark of the Chicago Events 193 - Septimius Severus is proclaimed Roman Emperor by the army in Illyricum (in the Balkans) Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. Lilly gave up three runs in six innings, but did not factor into the decision. [5] Lilly pitched well in April, lasting at least six innings in each of his five starts while never giving up more than three runs in a game posting a 2. 18 ERA. In Baseball statistics, earned run average ( ERA) is the Mean of Earned runs given up by a Pitcher per nine Innings pitched [6]

Lilly was prominent in a contentious series in Chicago between the Cubs and the Atlanta Braves. In game one of the series, Alfonso Soriano hit three home runs in his first three at-bats as part of a Cubs 9-1 victory[7]. Alfonso Guilleard Soriano (born January 7 1976 in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic) is a professional Major League Baseball Outfielder In the next game, Tim Hudson hit Soriano with a first-pitch fastball triggering home-plate umpire Tim Tschida to issue warnings to both teams[8].

Lilly enjoyed his best season to date, mainly due to the fact that he cut his walk rate down significantly. An article created by Yahoo Sports revealed Lilly as one of the best offseason signings for the 2007, and he has pitched much better than Barry Zito, who is earning twice as much as Lilly. Barry William Zito (born May 13, 1978 in) is a Left handed Starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball [10]
