The irony is that no team was more convinced that Lee would chase every last nickel than the Phillies -- who traded him because of this.

wow among the top 10 trending topics on twitter are "oswalt", "phils", "halladay", and "hamels". but no lee.

Think I can convince the Phils to sign me as the 5th starter. It'll be a feel good story of a local man who cannot throw 90 feet. Also, it'll give the bullpen and offense a chance to earn their money.

The whole thing is astounding. Did Amaro really think he would be able to obtain 3 aces in a year??

The man turned down 50+ mil because he loved it here so much, based off of 17 games started as a Phillies. And we traded him away. This is a dream.

rangers gm said cliff called him directly and said he was really appreciative of everything they did but he was going back to philly. said he handled it very classy.

You've had the feeling since the World Series, that Cliff just really hated the Yankees.

Rosenthal/Heyman look pretty solid in all of this. Oxlong too

You'd have to take a discount to play for us though.

how do we keep topping this year after year? next year, we're gonna resurrect babe ruth in his prime, and sign him away from the yankees too.

Amaro basically tossed the junior prom queen out of his car after he was done and she asked HIM out to the senior prom

I just went on Ebay hoping to snag a leftover Cliff Lee Phillies jersey from his first stint...

There were 56 of them and the cheapest one was $79.99.

I can't catch a break! I was hoping someone had a new one hanging around for the last year and was trying to sell it still for like $10...
