Kendrick, Ibanez, etc. are all in play now as well.

It feels nice to think that a player spurned the Yankees larger offer to play for another organization that was a better fit for them. Now Yankees fans can get a little taste of how we feel.

Lee is a modern day Maddux.

Sucks for Texas. Hopefully they can trade for Greinke before the 'Skanks do.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sucks for Texas. Hopefully they can trade for Greinke before the 'Skanks do.

I think you'll see that happen.

Could you imagine Cole Hamels as your #4 pitcher? The initial excitement over Matusz was that he could be the next Cole Hamels.

Glad for the Phils. Reminded again of the difference between the have and the have nots in baseball.

[ITS KYLEEEE]

I really would like to hear his story on why he chose the phillies. They have a scary pitching staff.

This is nothing short of amazing. It isn't supposed to happen. Money is supposed to be all that matters. Modern pro athletes are businessmen, looking to make top dollar.

Well, except for at least one. Pretty good one, too.

I can't stand the Phillies, but I am so happy he signed with them instead of the Yankees. That rotation is absurd.

Don't spit on a man's wife if you want him to come to your team.

Commitment to winning, and their fans didn't spit on his wife during the ALCS.

[YardBirds13]

I know he won't do this, but nothing would make me happier than Lee coming out and saying that the Yankees fans treating his wife like dirt was part of the reason he didn't want to come there.

That would be hilarious.

Winner. Rep coming in 24 hours

I Love Cliff Lee! I love him. So much. I love him!:hearts:
