Well,He's going to the Phils even after they traded him to the M's.Kevin must be happy.:tongue1:Maybe now the Yanks can go after Zach or Zack G.Pavano can stay in Minny.I hate that guy.
I am so disappointed the yanks didn't get lee.
I think it is hilarious. I cannot tell you how many Yankees fans were talking trash about the Phillies last year. The most common theme was "nice team, we'll take Lee and Werth thank you very much". They could all use a dose of humble pie, not everyone wants to play for the Yankees.
I like the Yankees but the attitude that Yankees fans had towards the Phils AFTER the Yanks were eliminated and before the Phils were knocked out by the Giants was disgusting.
The Phils sold out every home game last year, they have a ton of cash to throw around, and Lee wanted to take less to play for them. They still need to pick up a little more power to replace Werth but there will be a lot of 2-1 games which are very exciting to watch.
To be honest, Phills fans are far worse than any fan in baseball I have come across even Yankee Fans(this is coming from a mets Fan). Everytime I have been to a Mets Phills game at Citi Field/Shea Stadium, they have just talked so much trash it was unreal. I have never seen so many fans of the opposing team in the home teams stadium and act like they own the place.
The Mets/Phillies rivalry goes so far back, there is a lot of animosity. Don't forget that the Mets blanked the Phils earlier in the year which started their big slump where they were not hitting the ball at all.
Mets and Phils fans have always invaded each others stadiums, that has been going on for 20 years now. When the Phillies sucked there were more Mets fans in the stadium in PA than Phillies fans. The Mets used to whoop on the Phils for years. Then the Phils took Dykstra, Mcdowell, face it there is a ton of history between these teams.
My comments about the Yanks not getting Lee being funny is accurate, why the Yankees would not understand that a midwestern guy with family values might have a problem with rabid Yankees fans who had spit on his wife before, thats just ignorant.

Well I don't know anything about mets fans in the phills stadium as I have never been to a phils game. Yes, obviously the phills/mets rivalry is a pretty good one. I wouldn't go on to say the Mets have been beating up the phils for the past 20 years. If anything I think the phills have been the better team for the most part and will be for at least the next 5 years. I agree it is pretty comical to see Yankee fans upset that he shut them down. On the other hand I'm more angury then happy about this.
