Are you kidding me? He has publicly admitted not one thing. His Grad Jury testimony was LEAKED to a newspaper...

And then he has a press conference where he says 'Im sorry...' but wont say what he's sorry for!

He hasnt stood up and accepted responsibility for anything! It's amazing how when a player puts on the pinstripes, Yankee fans get all weak in the knees and reality becomes a bit warped...

Let me just say that I hope he isnt back on the juice...but Don Mattingly isnt THAT good a hitting coach...

Two more dingers tonight!

Yeah, Mattingly was a shitty hitter.

[Dave's PA Rental]

I never said that Mattingly wasnt a GREAT hitter...I respect Mattingly.

The best players dont always become the best coaches...that's nothing new...

[POJO_Risin]

Mattingly was a SUPERSTAR before he turned 25...

was a star before he turned 28...

and was Wally Joyner after that...

yeah...he was a great hitter...

I respect Donnie Baseball...but he was fucking ass overrated based on his early career...

He'll never make the hall...

He's a POOR MAN'S Dale Murphy...

...minus the strikeouts

[POJO_Risin]

What makes the difference about K's?

Murphy's On Base % was nearly identical...

K's are overrated if you are getting on base the same amount of times...

[POJO_Risin]

It's funny...Murphy's average blew ass...but the fucker had nearly a .350 lifetime OBP...not above average per se...but certainly indicates a much more effective player than a lifetime .265 hitter...

Sheffield hits out at Jeter, media and Yankees

8/5/2005 10:41:36 AM

Gary Sheffield pulls no punches, lashing out the New York Yankees, the media and Derek Jeter in a published interview set to hit newsstands next week.

The outspoken Sheffield tells New York magazine that Jeter is not the leader of the Yankees.

"I know who the leader is on the team," he says, without naming names. "I know who the team feeds off. I know who the opposing team comes in knowing they have to defend to stop the Yankees."

Sheffield also blames the media for hyping Jeter and third baseman Alex Rodriguez ahead of other players on the team. Without naming them, Sheffield says the New York media portray the two superstars "in a positive light and everyone else is garbage".

While other players might look at the Yankees as a first class organization, the 17 year veteran says the team lacks family values, chemistry and trust.

"It's not a family-oriented team," Sheffield tells writer Stephen Rodrick. "In L.A., wives can fly on the plane; with the Yankees they can't. With other teams, the wives always have functions to bring them together. Not here."

As far as creating any chemistry within the team, Sheffield says the media are to blame for that as well.

"This is the first team I've been on where no one sits at their locker," he said. "It's where you build your chemistry from, how you get to know each other, just talking about life. I'm used to having six chairs around me, but here if there are six chairs, then there's going to be 20 reporters around me."

Sheffield adds he was insulted when the Yankees offered him a two year deal worth $18-million prior to last season.

"I just came off 39 home runs and 132 RBIs and you ain't got nobody on your team that can put up those numbers, and you ain't gonna get anyone who is going to," he said. "But George [Steinbrenner] asked me not to take it as an insult and kept pursuing me. I said, 'Fine, I don't have to speak to anyone in the organization to still do my job.'"

Sheffield eventually signed a three year deal worth $39-million.

Sheffield makes no apologies for his comments.

"Why shouldn't I tell the truth?" he tells the magazine. "I ain't trying to get no Pepsi commercial."

Yes I did. Actually I saw him on the net after he fell. He was pretty shaken up and he's one lucky dude.
