Ugh . . .

I listened for about 30 seconds . . . that is 30 seconds of my life I will never get back. Thank goodness I could read the comments because listening to that was like nails on a chalkboard.

Hey, Nolan, first of all, go f*** yourself—I just don’t like you. Second, is it that big of a surprise that Lee wouldn’t want to pitch in a place that is a notorious hitters park that inflates mediocre players’ batting average to a point where people believe that they may be an offensive star? The Ballpark in Arlington should have a retractable roof (like Houston), but, thankfully it does not, and pitchers will avoid that place like the plague.

As for the Yankees, the fans shouldn’t have spit on Lee’s wife. Haha.

I listened to all 13 minutes...Understood every word.

The big point I gathered from the interview was that Ryan & Co. have extreme reservations about paying Boras…I mean, Beltre.

Also, understandably, they were very, very, very uncomfortable committing so much of their financial resourses to Cliff Lee; they stuck their necks out so far, that when rebuked, they felt like a jilted lover. Ryan seems emotionally drained.

I’ve got to wonder, if at this point, they are willing to cut loose the prospects deemed necessary to trade for Greinke. At the very least, they are trying to appear “not so interested”, in order to keep the price down.
