Geez, we didn't think we'd be throwing down another PWPMO segment on the show already, but here it is. This stuff just happens people. Out of nowhere, it just pops up and I have to comment on it.Breaking news: Gary Sheffield is angry. At everything.
Now I know what you're thinking. "Drew, Sheffield isn't the type of guy to get mad." "Drew, Gary Sheffield is a nice guy, he can't be mad, can he?" Well folks, it's true. He's pissed. And he's sad too. For the first time this season, Gary Sheffield has gone into full-scale 'pouting' mode.
Here, care of Freep.com, "I can be in the outfield and play every day. (Waaaaaaaaaa!) I don't want to DH. (Waaaaaaaaa!) I don't feel like a baseball player when I DH." (Waaaaaaaa!) Please excuse all the crying in that last quote, I just wanted to make it as real as possible for you when reading it.
It seems as though the Tigers are sick of all the crying, too, as they released him today. I think it's hilarious. Obviously, Gary is just crying so much because the Tigers aren't looking very good in terms of their playoff chances this season. And like all the other sports divas that we have these days, he wants to play for a "contender" so he can win a championship. And since Gary doesn't seem to have any chance of being a decent fielder any time soon, Gary would like to win another championship without actually "contributing."
This whole drama queen act that players like Sheffield are always pulling are why players like Sheffield piss me off so much. Sheffield is in the same boat as Richie Sexson, among others. He may actually be driving that boat for Sexson and the others.
Probably won't happen, but I'd love to see Shef get picked up by a Cincinnati or Seattle. Good times.
