But, who knows,...Sheffield has always been a punk. But, who knows, the humility of nearing the end of his career combined with the humility of being on the verge of being nobody, can't hit your own weight any more barely and just hanging on to a MLB career by your fingertips, maybe it changes his personality a little, makes him a little easier to get along with. So long as he doesn't refer to himself in the third person like Rickey, or play cards in the clubhouse in the middle of a game. Also if it means that Marlon Anderson gets sacked, fuck it, addition by subtraction again baby, the theme song of the 2009 Mets!Jaaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14918548497554962346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-13363196792812066702009-04-03T23:32:00.000+01:002009-04-03T23:32:00.000+01:00I have never liked Sheffield.

PLus he hit about .220 last year and is 40, and he willwhine if he does not play. I am sure he will adequately patrol whatever portion of right field he allots to himself, leaving the rest for Beltran. Can you imagine an outfield the size of Citi manned by Sheffield, Murphy and Beltran? They will have to put cones out there, sectioning off a third of it, and declare any balls hit inside the cones to be do-overs.jdonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-8755242575928466772009-04-03T18:10:00.000+01:002009-04-03T18:10:00.000+01:00well jdon, what do you think about the innuendo of...well jdon, what do you think about the innuendo of signing Sheffield then? Would you like the bat and disruptions? Would a self-serving egomaniac be a nice balancing act for an otherwise bland and seemingly personality-less clubhouse?Jaaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14918548497554962346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-10144508095401506762009-04-03T10:03:00.000+01:002009-04-03T10:03:00.000+01:00David Wright definitely needs a deeper voice. Who...David Wright definitely needs a deeper voice. Who can be encouraged by his cliches when he squeaks like he does? If there is one thing Livan can do it is eat. Jerry's press conferences began to grow tedious by year's end. The Phillies signed 100 more RBI this off season---we didn't. In fact, I think we added negative RBI (if that is possible) with Marlon and Alex Cora. The only thing we did is get the two closers. We will still lose it at the end, bynot scoring when we need to, and the closers will not be able to affect that. If we are even that close in late September.jdonnoreply@blogger.com
