Big Paycheck worth a few Tough New Yorkers

Tune in tonight for Game 1 of the 2010 World Series where the Texas Rangers will take on the San Francisco Giants. Rangers superstar pitcher Cliff Lee will take the mound for likely his last series as a Ranger.

Lee has been in talks with the New York Yankees since July to be another, uh well sellout. Lee will be a free agent at the end of this year (meaning he is free to sign with another team). If traded to the Yankees, Lee will likely earn a contract between five and seven years for $100-$150 million!

Even after Lee's wife was spit on, heckled at, and taunted by the Yankees fans during the ALCS series agains the Rangers, she is still ready to move to the big city. Mrs. Lee and her hubby have been quick to excuse the Yanks from their disrespectful behavior. Clearly, the paycheck is worth a few spitballs and insults.
