Lee's wife put off by New York fans

Well as the old saying goes "Happy wife, Happy Life". I do believe that the bidding is going to start and end with the Yankees and Rangers. The Yankees will most likely offer him the sweetest deal but the Rangers can offer him comfort and ease of mind and a smaller town feel. This might not mean much to a younger pitcher but Cliff is older and this will most likely be the last contract he signs so I think he has a tough decision.

Sounds to me like NY had some rotton people in the stands, you don't call a woman names,spit at her or throw beer, The Yankee's are a sore bunch of loosers. Realy low class.

Fortunately for the Lee's, they're going to get "fat checks" with any team they choose.

Isn't that the Philly fans reputation?

Ohhhh, wouldn't it be hilarious if Yankee fans cost their team a shot at the premier FA this year. I bet Ranger management is dancing a jig after reading this.

unfortunate.

Wasn't there something about Teixeira's wife not wanting to go to NY?

True, the Yankees will bid the price up regardless of whether they win.

Thats just what the Yanks do! They will drive up the price and even if they don't get him they at least know the other team had to put more $$ towards him and not to another player.

I said weeks ago it might come down to what Mrs. Lee wants.

Ok, let's start the bidding, how many years and for what dollar amount does Mrs. Lee errrrr Cliff Lee sign for?

Money isn't everything, there's this little thing called Quality of Life, ever heard of it?

Amen, bro.

Gee, 53,000 people packed in a stadium with beer, your team's losing, and some of the fans were offensive. I'm so happy that doesn't happen in Texas (or Philly, or LA, etc., etc., etc.) Grow up. I'm sure the Yankee wives and families were treated beautifully in Arlington where the Fenway-inspired "Yankees Suck" cheer could be heard continually throughout all three games.

I'm sure Giants fans will shower her with rose pedals, complement her in the stands, and hold the door open for her. No matter where she goes she will be targeted.

Exactly how did the fans know she was Cliff Lee's wife? Did she have a shirt saying Mrs. Cliff Lee?

Yes...

... and, in my view, drunken fans behavior is universally the same.

I've been to over 50 SF Giants games, and never seen anyone spitting on anyone. Must be a New York special. Although. there is no doubt she will hear the very hurtful chant, "What's the matter with Cliff Lee? He's a bum!"

Maybe you've been fortunate enough to not be in the 'drunken fans' section.

No, Tex's wife did want to go.
