A simple way to do this would be to use pattern matching and Cases.

=46irst generate so data

In[12]:= data = Split[RandomReal[{-1, 1}, 20], #1 #2 > 0 &]

Out[12]= {{0.515309},{-0.014795},{0.329838,0.896598},{-0.414435,
-0.326671,-0.347789,-0.627698,-0.763855,-0.85736,-0.774624},{0.861427,
0.387308,0.590255},{-0.502033},{0.813789},{-0.748274,-0.297541,
-0.170911,-0.948834}}

then to pick out the sub-lists with negative values

In[13]:= Cases[data, {_?(# < 0 &), ___}]

Out[13]= {{-0.014795},{-0.414435,-0.326671,-0.347789,-0.627698,
-0.763855,-0.85736,-0.774624},{-0.502033},{-0.748274,-0.297541,-0.170911,
-0.948834}}
