Following the Phillies’ 7-4 loss to the Giants on Monday night, Cliff Lee spoke with the media. After all, it was Lee’s first start in two months, and he’s a popular trade target leading up to the trade deadline at the end of the month. Once Lee concluded his chat with the media, he bid them farewell with a most appropriate gesture – a very loud fart.

Oh yes, this is brilliant, and a perfect summary for a start that saw Lee allow six runs on 12 hits in 5 2/3 innings.
