    I bet if he were a aging, white player who couldn't hit, he'd be hitting right after A-Rod, right?

    Interesting that Sheffield wrote a book which covered his Yankee years and didn't discuss this topic. Gary's an asshole.
    As a player he is worth his contract on the field but he's worthless as a person off it.

    I agree. He was a douche bag when he was a kid in Milwaukee, and he's a douche bag almost 20 years later. It's not much of a surprise.
     
  4. He just runs his mouth. I think that's different than being a douchebag.

    Elijah Dukes ... there's a douchebag. He runs his fists.

    Can you explain why Doug Mienkeivich gets a paycheck.

    And my understanding is that this is per se slander, so Torre doesn't have to actually prove anything to have Sheffield executed.

    I was in a smartass way saying that the fact that Williams could no longer hit were the reason he's done and it had nothing to do with his race. But what you said is along the lines of what Sheffield is implying, although what he said had little to do with playing time. It was, Torre calls out white players behind closed doors, but he calls out black players in the open clubhouse in front of everyone.

    Joe, you're above this kind of stuff. Don't be a pussy like Barry Bonds. Most baseball fans with half a brain take Sheffield's ravings about as seriously as those of Lyndon LaRouche.

    Boom just pm'd me. Joe Morgan will testify on behalf of Torre at the trial.

    Will John Miller handle the hard questions, though?

    Actually, that only works if Torre says Shef has a loathsome disease (loathsome being a legal term in this instance).
