Okay. I haven't done a post about them yet, but I am a die hard Phillies fan. When they lost to the Giants in October, I was very sad. It took me about a week, but watching Cliff Lee pitch for the Rangers made it a little easier...
Last night, around midnight, I received a text from my cousin - "cliff lee is a phillie!!!!!!!!!"
My response - "Wtf?"
I honestly have not been following much since they were essentially out of it during the winter meetings, but apparently ownership and Ruben Amaro Jr. made a special exception in the organizations already high salary budget (with just around $150 already committed).
Numerous sports writers have already covered this, so I won't go any further, but I wanted to provide a list of headlines from around the web. Some are clever...some aren't.
Cliff Lee Chooses (Brotherly) Love over Money
Cliff Motherfucking Lee —
Brother-Lee love! Lefty ace picks Philly
Bodley: Phils right a wrong, seize the moment
Yanks miss out on Lee as lefty heads to Philly
Sources: Lee jilts suitors to join Phils
Did Lee’s wife nix Yanks over nasty fans?
I heart everything about this story.
Also, rest in peace, Ambassador Holbrooke. Your service will not be forgotten.
