If We Don’t Laugh, We’ll Cry…
September 22, 2008They’re Not Saying “Boo”…
September 22, 2008Gary Sheffield is an angry gentleman. Well, let’s just say he is an angry man. After his overreactions this weekend, which led to a benches clearing brawl, Sheffield was still angry.
“He’ll get taken care of, trust me,” Sheffield said. “If you take a cheap shot at me, I’ll never forget it. I won’t forget it until the day I die.”
Lighten up Francis. Apparently, Sheffield was quite upset that during the fight Asdrubal Cabrera was punching Sheffield while Carmona had him in a head lock. I don’t want to just sound like a homer all the time, but is there anyone out there who has Sheffield’s back on this? Did you all see Magglio Ordonez and Miguel Cabrera come up to Victor Martinez during the fight to seemingly try to reason with him? How much do you want to bet they were saying something like, “Dude, calm down. Gary is crazy. We don’t even like him. He isn’t worth it. We’re still cool. OK?”
Victor Martinez had this to say the following day.
“He didn’t say nothing going down to first base. If he wants to do something, then charge right there. He just walked to first base with that attitude. Who is he? Shut your mouth and keep playing the game.”
Sheffield then followed up with this.
“Who am I? Tell him to check the stats. How many years he have? He’s going to learn respect. Somebody will teach him respect. Trust me. … He ain’t done nothing in this game. Anybody can have a couple years. Do it for 20 years, and then come talk to me.”
Well, at least there is something going on to make baseball interesting in Cleveland down the stretch.

“Who am I? Just some guy that wasn’t happy being a good ballplayer who had to rub some mysterious cream on my joints that magically gave me ridiculous bat-speed at age 35.”
What was funny was (like mentioned) how nobody on the Tigers even thought of fighting for Gary. I think it was hard for the Tigers to pretend like they even cared….
He is an a-hole.
Trust me Magglio Ordonez and Miguel Cabrera were saying stuff like “Hit him in the junk really quick”.
he does remember that he was on waivers right?
Sounds to me that Sheffield has lost repsect for the game of baseball if he feels he needs to talk about a fight he started so much. What a shame that after so many years he still doesn’t understand what a privilege it is that he gets to suit up and play a game of baseball for a living. I’ll trade.
Gary hasn’t been anything since he had to stop taking steroids. That’s who he is.
Ya’ll can’t be homers on this one. i hate sheffield and while he did take the juice late in his career he was good before he took em just like barry bonds. I also doubt mags and cabrera said that to victor. Gary been the same player his whole career so why is this surprising? He almost punched a fan before lol. He a hot head
I will back Sheffield a little bit for being pissed that he was getting punched by Cabrera when he was in the “Carmona Death Lock”
But he is a total punk and all talk. If your so tough why don’t you drop the bat and charge the mound right away? Carrying the bat all the way to first base only makes you look like more of a b****.
Regardless of any of that, if it was one-on-one, Carmona wouldve smoked him. He unloaded on him with the glove-assisted haymaker, put him in a headlock and blugeoned him withi his fists. How are you gonna talk trash about a fight after you got your a** kicked????
I can’t hate on anyone who takes a shot at Sheffield–cheap shot or no.
Heck, I’d be tempted. I might even use the moonlanding quote, ” ( this is) one small step for man one giant leap for mankind”.
no…way. we landed on the moon!
LOL at the picture above of Gene Lamont grabbing his arm. Wow.
My Fantasy Baseball Team Name next year = “Dude, calm down. Gary is crazy”
