Gary Sheffield

[Elster88]

A story from Burkhardt. Sheffield got a personalized bat from the bat company for his 500th. And then he got one from each of the other players ans signed it and gave it to them. I think I like it. And I appreciated the 500th more than I thought I would (not that hard to do since I didn't think I would appreciate it at all.)

But forget all that, he's picked it up with the players hurt. In May: .357 BA, .436 OBP, .545 SLG, 18 R, 4 2B, 4 HR, 13 RBI, 14 BB, 7 SO.

Am I really appreciating a steroid guy? I guess so.

[Frayed Knot]

Sheffield's problems were rarely, if ever, with his teammates.
He'd just decide, every once in a while, that either the press, his team's mgmt, or MLB in general had it out for him and would go off on some angry yet non-sensical rant.

As long as he keeps his yap shut I'm OK with him.

I heart Sheff and whatever he's using that's gotten him his mojo back. He is CARRYING this offense.

[metirish]

I couldn't be happier with him , I've liked him on this team from the get go and we need him.


Did I just say we? , sorry the Mets need him damn it.

[ashie62]

I thought he brought a certain fear factor when signed..Nice to see he's carrying it and seems truly humbled to have a job.

If he's 40 and performing his PED use would have to be light..Put him in the Hall with a Mets hat..

[Piggiestomatoes]

He has been money. In the spirit of full disclosure, I wasn't thrilled with the signing but now I'm scared to think of where we'd be without him.

Oh. yeah, very nice gesture on the 500th.

G-Money!

Does a genially stupid rant count?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Terrific addition, really from the start. Who wouldn't want a bench guy who can also step in and be the cleanup hitter.

Sheff, Livan, Santos, FMart, RMart, even Pagan -- guys making contributions we couldn't have dreamed would have only 2 months ago.
