Sharrow Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I'll wait until i see the interview before i make up my mind, but I can see it being possible that Torre treats black players different than white players. Not too many white guys on the yankees in his time though, were there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsis Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Isn't Jeter african american? aren't most of the yankees latino? who exactly did torre show preference to? Does that mean that Derek Jeter hates half of himself and discriminated against his left side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosox -- Here is the problem that I have with what you just did. I know what you do here. You stir the sh*t. But how about for once you discuss something seriously. Really what you typed is not true and you know it. Everyone who is guily says no comment? Come on. In the visiting clubhouse at Safeco Field, Sheffield stood behind what he said to HBO -- that Torre is not a racist -- but also tried to clarify some statements. In the piece, when it was mentioned that the Yankees' most prominent player -- Derek Jeter -- is black, Sheffield quickly clarified that Jeter is "black and white." When asked the significance of that, Sheffield said, "It's really no significance. It's just you ain't all the way black." This is typical Sheff crap. Torre treats black players differently. But Torre isn't racist. This is what Sheff is saying? So what's the point, if he truly treats black players differently then he is racist. Sheff needs to make up his mind here, which one it is. As far as Torre and Jeter saying no comment -- I credit them for that. They are a team that is struggling. Why the hell would they care what Sheff thinks? He is gone, commenting on this does not help them win games. They have no responsibility to get involved in this what so ever. You can blast the Yankees all you want. My question for you is this. You said Torre and Jeter are guilty. Guilty of what? Sheff says they aren't racist. Sheff says they treats black players differently and they aren't racist. Is that what they are guilty of? Do educate us. I would love to hear how Jeter treats black players differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Typical Sheff indeed. A great player, and a complete idiot. Torre probablay didn't like Sheffeiled, and can you blame him? This is a man so self-absorbed that he fired his agent, negotiated a contract himself with Steinbrenner directly, and then whined that he wanted to renegotiate. I thnk this should be the last year Torre manages. But this is a bad joke. One of Torre's best friends in baseball is Bob Gibson, who was his pitching coach with the Mets. If he's such a racist, why did he all during 1996 and 1997 habitually play the inferior Charlies Hayes over HoFer Wade Boggs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the past 4 years, I have been KILLING Sheffield* and over the past 10 years, Joe Torre has really gotten a pass from me. You dont hear me say much about Torre, and I have NEVER said anything about his character. I'm a Torre fan somewhat. I know Sheffield's* MO, I hate the man vehmently, I think he's full of $h!t, nor do I believe a word of what sheffroid* said...

Every year that the Yankees fall painfully short, they cut one or two people, then bring in 3 or 4 who are even worse! Thats why Sheffroid* is in Detroit now.

Bugg Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Sheff is this delusional- he really believes that a pro athlete could get on a plane from his home in Tampa to northern California to lift weights with Bonds during the offseason. And that he paid $1500 for simple flaxseed oil from some high falutin' company like Balco. And that streoids are only injected into your hiney(apparently a touchy issue given his wife and R.Kelly's personal habits). Flaxseed oil costs about $7 at CVS. There are gyms in Tampa, some that are no doubt high end with great personal trainers looking to work with pro athletes. There's no reason in this day and age that even if he felt Bonds' program was so great, he could've had it faxed or e-mailed to him or his Tampa trainer. And the wonderous special flaxseed oil could've been shipped overnight. OF course though, one might be less inclined to ship a controlled substance like steroids. Such a shipment would be inspected and if intercepted might cause you some embarrassment or even arrest. But if you happen to be in San Fransisco, suddenly the whole shipping problem is a nonissue. And then it becoems clear Sheffield knew exactly what he was doing there with Bonds in the first place. What becomes clear is that Sheffield is lying, and he's so used to lying that he now believes his lies are the truth. What a delusional a-hole.

He has things to do - like manage a team that is trying to make the playoffs. Acknowledging Sheffields comments in anyway would be counter-productive.
