I do think it's not just about the money & years, that is part of it but there's also family matters -- being 3 hours away from home in Arkansas, and whether Texas will be competitive every year. Yankees will be. I’m not bothered by Cliff’s pondering.

As we wait for Lee to take his thumb out of his backside (for lack of another term), other important issues (the bullpen, bench, and catching) remain unattended. I know that Lee has every right as a free agent to shop his wares, but the constant waiting, the "world revolves around me" attitude has really turned me off. If Lee ends up spurning the Yankees' ridiculously generous offer, I'm ready to put him up there with Curt Schilling on my "most hated" list!
