Shut up Sheffield

Its about time that somebody suspended players for more than steroids. How many times has Gary Sheffield gone off on teams about random bullshit. The latest? Claiming that Joe Torre doesnt like african american ball players. Do I even have to comment on this remark? If I recall, Joe Torre put his job on the line last year by putting Gary Sheffield at first base towards the end of the year after Sheffield was out with a wrist injury for two months. Plus Darryl Strawberry claims that Torre was the best manager he ever had and a great human being. Last time I checked, Darryl Strawberry is african american. You know a person is full of crap, when he asks players such as Tony Womack and Kenny Lofton to back them up. During both Womack and Loftons' tenures with the Yankees they were well past their primes and got their jobs taken by younger players. Of course this will make a player disgruntled and therefore the blame is placed squarely on the manager. Do you think that Joe Torre would still be managing the Yankees if he was racist? Wake up and smell the coffee Sheffield. Joe Torre is a class act and you are just pissed off at the world. Gary Sheffield is one of those guys who likes being put up against the wall. It adds fuel to the fire for him. I found it hilarious that the day after he made these comments about Torre, he hit a grand slam. Sheffield has had some kind of an issue everywhere he has landed. Its not right to put Joe Torre in a bad position like that. I really think it is time for Bud Selig to suspend Gary Sheffield for these outlandish comments. I know that America is known for freedom of speech, but that is just not right.
