Dear Cliffy:
We the fans have appreciated the way you hogtied our nutsacks this offseason. Apparently Mystique & Aura are not appealing to you in the slightest. No problemo, we made a valiant effort to forgive what you've done to our team in recent years and even provided extra singles for you to party in the "Champagne Room" after we won it all together had you come to the Bronx. You obviously don't like the Yankees or the thought of playing here. That's fine, I just hope you don't mind the thought of rotten stadium sandwiches of the knockoff cheesesteak variety pelted in your direction if anyone gets an open shot. Now I noticed the Phillies don't come to the Bronx in 2011, unless they meet in November, so you're safe....for now. By the way, I always thought you were an a*****e.
Your welcome,
ReggieARodJeter

I don't get all the hate
He just signed with another team. that does not mean I dislikes the Yankees, but likes the Phillies.
I agree with the Boston fan.
Before I throw up, I’ll say that Lee has nothing to do with the Yankees. He’s not, was not and now most likely will never be ours.
Its a shame to get worried and pissed at him like he stabbed us in the back. He never had the knife to our back in the first place.

And it pains me to agree with her but she’s right and you’re right. Worry about the Yanks and when they face Lee, be happy if they kick his ass just like we would if it was Beckett.
Don't shoot, I'm a man.
Is that the first time
anyone has agreed with me on this blog ever?

Reminds me of the Little Engine Who Couldn't
I think he plays 2nd base for Boston?

i have no hate for the guy
he went to where he felt he would be happier, and took less money in total to do so. just if he ever pitches in the bronx again, DO NOT BRING THE MRS.

I couldn't even understand the letter, let alone agree with it.
Evidently you have some personal animus towards Mr. Lee. I think imitation cheesesteak will not prove to be an issue for him. Marisa is right a lot more often than she’s wrong, and don’t pretend otherwise.

Stop taking the post so seriously
Although the letters come from an irrational pov, they are just for fun. Sports is for fun. What Cliff Lee does has no effect on my proffessional,personal, or domestic life. Maybe I ought to attach a friggin disclaimer so fans don’t take them so serious.

Haha, this was hilarious
And obviously anyone with a sense of humor can see that it’s not meant to be taken seriously…
Am I the only one who watches baseball to enjoy the game? If I wanted stats and graphs rammed down my throat, I'd take a math class...
it's interesting
what the Lees said about Philly. to paraphrase, “There’s no other city like it… baseball is so important there… it was so nice pitching in the postseason.”
1. NYC is like it, only better.
2. Philly is a football town. No matter how great the Phils are and how terrible the Eagles are, football comes first. NYC is a baseball town.
3. The Yanks have made the playoffs 15 of the last 16 years. Texas just won the pennant.

You can't compare NYC to any other city anyway
I’d take the Big Apple over dirty Philly any day and we haven’t even gotten to the money bit yet.
I wonder how TPTB sold being a Yankee to Sir Cliff Lee, however. I suppose in the end, Sir Cliff Lee knew what he wanted. Personally, he should have just said, “I wanna play for Philly, so don’t waste your time trying to court me.” A lot of time would have been saved that way…

I'm not sure I'd classify Philly as a football town.
I just think there are a bunch of people there who care about the Eagles and only the Eagles, and thats what it gives it a reputation as a football town. Its probably a baseball town at this moment. Is that wagony? Ya.
Yes, well when I see five weirdo's dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of a hundred people, I shoot the bastards, that's my policy.
I know people who have lived in Philly, moved out, and claim to miss it.
There is no accounting for taste. If Lee had said I wanna play for Philly, so don’t waste your time trying to court me," it would have saved time, but not money. Even if he wanted to be a Phillie, that’s not a reason to forego other bids and let the price be driven up.

Fun Fact: Yankee’s offer had the most guaranteed money but the LEAST overall money
Yanks offer amounted to 132 mil over 6 years with a 16 mil player option making it 148 mil guaranteed to Lee.
Rangers offer was 138 mil over 6 with a 23 mil option which amounted to 161 max. Although the option was reported hard to reach
Now Phillies gave Lee a 120 mil 5 year deal with an Option of 27.5 mil and a 12.5 mil buy out meaning lee can make either 132.5 mil over 6 or at max 147.5 mil over 6 years. Also this gives lee the highest per annual pay.
So lets cut the bullshit that Lee wasn’t in for the money at all. Yes might have really liked Philly but in the End Phillie’s offer has the best upside for Lee as the option is easily reachable and even if he they buy out he ends up with same amount of money the Yankees offered over those 6 years.
And all the men who did it on the biggest stage
Are now looking down on you Cliff Lee. I do not know about you but I do not turn down a chance to work for the FBI to play Barney Phife in Andy’s town for like money just because it is easier. Being comfortable makes you complacent.
I love a disaster you ravenous bastard. Been to 3 state fairs and watched 2 buzzards f$$k but just now have I seen it all.
