I guess I'll just go one by one...
Sheffield says Torre treats black players differently from white players and says Jeter, who is from a mixed-race marriage, "ain't all the way black," during the interview with Andrea Kremer, as reported by Newsday.You're right, Gary. He's half black. Which means he's half as awesome as you. And half as likely to get screwed by Torre. Hell, it must be so hard on you Sheff. I'm sure you really had a hard time taking your multi-bagillion dollar check from Steinbrenner every month. If that's being treated "differently," show me where to sign. Later, he said there was no real significance to Jeter's bi-racial heritage, but added: "Derek Jeter used to come to me and try to tell you what Joe Torre is all about, he's a good man, he's this, he's that, but like I tell Derek Jeter, that's you. It's one thing that they treat you a certain way; you don't feel what other people feel." There you go, Gary, come to your senses. It's all in your head. Your emotions are spinning out of control, I understand. Mid-life crisis is well on it's way...As for Bonds, Sheffield says "if I took what Barry Bonds took, why don't I look like him?" He also says that he never took steroids because "the bottom line is steroids is something you stick in your butt -- period."Trading on a brother: not cool G-man. Not cool. Oh, and you probably don't look like Barry because he took the good sh**. And really, you didn't take them because you have to stick them in your butt? You're that much of a homophobe? Merlin the Magician: Hey Trent, here's a magic potient. When you take it, you'll get straight A's in college. Not just any college, you'll get into whatever college you want. And then after that, you'll have a job lined up for you where you'll make 6 figures your first year. There's only one catch: You have to sit on a fence once a week and risk the chance of a mini-martian coming by and shoving a giant dildo up your ass.
Trent: No thanks, I'm good. That would almost pretty much basically make me gay. I'm fine being mediocre.
And finally...Sheffield reportedly began the interview by saying: "I tell myself every offseason I'm not going to say anything crazy. I'm just going to have a peaceful season ... Can't do it. I'm cut from a different cloth."Too good to be true, TGTBT... you're cut from the I'm bitter because I never won a World Series in New York cloth Gary.
I hope you fall off the team bus and break every bone in your body...Labels: black, Gary, racist, Torre
