Gary Sheffiled

[The Bid]

How can you be black in 07, rich, and still angry?

He just accussed the Yankees of being racist. When they asked him about how Jeter was treated he said "It aint the same, hes half black half white" Last time I checked if you had any black in you, you are considered black. Sounds like Sheffield is the racist.

Yeah they are racist. They have a japanese LF, have had a PR CF for 10 years, a Dominican RF and 3RD baseman, a half black SS, a Dominican 2bman, a PR catcher and A Panamania Closer. Real bunch of crackers on that team. If anything they are racist against whites being they dont have a regular that is white outside of 1b and pitchers.

I was just shocked to hear Sheffield say something so ignorant.

The other big racecard player in the game is Bonds. Hes never been man enough to own up to his mistakes, hes always blamed the mediaor race, its a joke

[timmgirvan]

What's with the Torre bashing? I guess Sheff hasn't moved on from NY! Immature and no class on this one

[The Bid]

He said Torre didnt treat him like a man, and was racist. Called him out on a few occasions he didnt call Latin or white players out.

Prima donna......as long as the props are going to him....

But Sheffield's got an explanation for that- according to him, Latins are easier to control . . .

He's really a pitiful human being. . .

Sheffield is no longer in the national media spotlight because he plays in Detroit. He is just like Terell Owens, when he isn't getting enough attention he makes a statment so ignorant that it can't be ignored. Now everyone is talking about him again. He is an uneducated self indulgent j*ck *ss and no one should even care about his opinion. But until we stop putting a microphone in his face, he will continue to spew this nonsense.

Whoever starts the first game of the series, first at bat. I hope its someone who throws hard.

Don't forget that he mentored Willie Randolph to be a manager in MLB. Sheffield has a history of saying stupid things, part of the reason the Yanks got rid of him in the first place. It is a shame, this guy actually had a lot of talent at one time.
