Phillies starter Cliff Lee returned to the rotation on Monday night after a long stint on the disabled list and things didn’t exactly go smoothly for the veteran lefty. Not only did he give up six runs in just under six innings against the San Francisco Giants, but his post game interview also also concluded in rough fashion.
After telling reporters that he just wants to help the team win games, Lee waited a few seconds for a final question from the scrum before rising to conclude the interview. That’s when he involuntarily (maybe?) released a bellowing fart that was clearly caught on camera and audio. Gross.
To Lee’s credit, he handled the situation in stride and immediately turned to the reporters and asked, “Did y’all get that on tape?” Uhhh, yeah… I think they got it, Cliff.
The sequence immediately reminded me of this scene from ‘Elf.’
