Cliff Lee's wife...

[Horn2Run]

...apparently was spat upon from an upper deck Jonkees fan(s)....we can only hope this pisses the missus off enough to sway his decision

Cliff was interviewed, blew it off as no big deal of a handful of idiots among 50k fans.....hopefully Kristen thinsk otherwise

I suspect that, even in Cliff Lee's world, the old adage that "If mama ain't happy, nobody's happy" still applies.

^You can bet Cliff is just like the rest of us husbands and always gets the last word in discussions with the wife - "Yes, Dear."

HHD

cliff lee will sign with the rangers if and only if the money is right. i.e. closely matches the yankees. don't fool yourself

Cliff: Honey the Yankees are offering $4mil more a year for 6 years, that's an extra $24mil.

Wife: Great, let me know who to spit on next season.

Money will talk for sure but if the Rangers get close in the bidding I think they win.

The Yankees suddenly look pretty old at several positions. They are going to have to buy a lot of very expensive free agents to get back in the mix and soon, Rivera wont be Rivera anymore. That is a HUGE problem for them.

I think Scharnell correctly concluded how that discussion will go.

But...I"m hoping Greenberg has $$ AND creativity to put an enticing offer together.

Hook'em!!!

Lee and his agent did what smart potential FA's do: They downplay a negative as leverage to keep all potential suitors in the running.

For all we know, dude was seething upon his wife's tale of disgust. I know I'd be pissed.

I like when asked about the fan who spit on the players wives, Cliff said "who cares, the are at home now"
