But you gotta give the man some credit tho. At least wonder if what he's saying is valid.

Does Torre have a problem dealing with black folks or does Sheff have a chip on his shoulder? Where's that comin from? How come in some sports the most vocal black athlethes happen to be light skinned? Ali, Sheff, Barkley, Starks, Iverson, etc.. ?

]]> <![CDATA[Our Only Regret Is That Gary Sheffield Does Not Have A Blog]]> Sheffield also said that Steinbrenner was the only one of the Yankee brass who wanted to sign him, and everyone else wanted Vlad.

Well .... duh.

Glad he is now on record kissing Leyland's ass, so when he blasts him and the Tigers in two years it will be extra special.

]]> <![CDATA[Our Only Regret Is That Gary Sheffield Does Not Have A Blog]]> Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any comments saying that "we Cubs fans are happy to be close to first place in mid-August." We're not settling for anything. Let the Cardinals do that.

We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in settling for anything except the enemy's head on a pinstriped platter. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose!

See you at the game today.

Fixed to reflect who got his first homer since May 15.

I was at RFK last night, and I was MELTING in the heat. I have no idea how my boy was able to go 6 2/3 scoreless. (He also very cutely tipped his cap to the masses of Phils Phans in attendance who gave him a standing O when he left the game. Squee!)

]]> <![CDATA[Our Only Regret Is That Gary Sheffield Does Not Have A Blog]]> Drags his son in on it and also talks in the third person.


Sheffield found it strange his comments about Jeter not being "all the way black" - therefore unaffected by Torre's alleged treatment of black players - would cause a stir. Jeter is the product of a black father and white mother. Sheffield said he has a son with a similar racial balance.

"So if I was talking about Jeter, I was talking about my son. So, obviously, I'm not talking about my son," Sheffield said.

"When I have an issue with somebody within the Yankees organization or the Yankees, what [the media] try to do is include Jeter in that conversation to distort what I'm talking about. Jeter is an icon. Jeter is not going to get the same treatment as Shawn Chacon, Gary Sheffield, nobody else."
