One week you wake up with a new Red Sox player, the next you wake up to a new … Philly?!
Apparently ace pitcher Cliff Lee didn’t sign with the Rangers or the Yankees last night, and instead signed with Philadelphia!
From the Inquirer: “Lee returning to Phillies in five-year deal“:
Pinch yourself, Phillies fans.
What used to be fantasy has now become reality.
Cliff Lee, even after being offered more money by the American League champion Texas Rangers and the 27-time World Series champion New York Yankees, has decided to sign with the Phillies.
That’s the kind of Philadelphia story most of you probably thought you’d never read.
My anti-Yankee sentiment had me all excited, until I realized that Philly now has Lee, Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels.
I’m calling it right now: in eleven months it’s going to be a Philadelphia/Boston World Series.
