Good satire, but in all honesty Sheffield is not the grumpy-I-think-everyone-is-racist guy that people make him out to be. I've met him 4 or 5 times over his career(before he came to the Yankees) and he is really a friendly guy> He can definitely get passionate and has a temper, but he always took time to sign autographs for me and let us take pictures with him. So don't be too hard on the guy.

It's a joke, dude. Funny...get it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Learn to read. Get it?

"Good satire" is what I said, and it was. But satire is usually based on perceptions and Sheff is perceived as a grumpy bastard who is not fun to be around. I was correcting that perception.

I think the humor is lost on those that take themselves too seriously. It's meant to be enjoyed while not standing on a soapbox. I'm sure he's a swell guy. Great. But the story is still funny.

"Yankees lost.

Ha-ha. What an embarrassment. A 200 million dollar payroll and the D-Rays are their daddies. Eat that, Yawkey. "

I read the Blake article on that site. Good satire, but in all honesty Blake does not really think of himself as the last resort player that people make him out to be. I've met him 4 or 5 times over his career(before he came to the Bears) and he is really a confident guy&gt; He can definitely play like a schmo, but he always took time to sign autographs for me and let us take pictures with him. So don't be too hard on the guy.
