St. Cliff: O come let us adore him

St. Cliff

Everybody loves him. He rejected messy, garbage-strewn New York. He escaped the ugly, money-laden American League East. He accepts his role as a second pitcher on a staff. And most of all, he scorned the dirty rotten Yankees.

So Cliff Lee has it both ways: He gets the bucks and the admiration of sportswriters who say he's not in it for the bucks.

It's so perfect, so clean. What a scam. He uses us to bid up his contract, then goes where he always intended to go.

Saintly.

(P.S. I don't mind a guy going where he wishes; but reading this holiday-fed crap about his self-sacrifice and family values is worse than watching the Icecapades.)
