05:07 AM ET  07.17 | Why it took Gary Sheffield this long to say anything is anyone's guess. Maybe because in spite of the Yanks' so-so record they're still getting press while Sheff... is not getting his props. Yes, everywhere Gary Sheffield has gone, it was always about what he didn't get. And he turns on those who helped him. Who's being racist here? He even called out the Latinos and Hispanics. So what were you insinuating here, Sheff? As always he tries to balance things so that he can argue that, 'hey, I wasn't dissing anyone.'" Jeter his best friend on the team? Then he says that he's neither black nor white. That's the problem with some people, they always find a way to trump up the race card and even worse, there are other idiots who believe that. Give Sheff a few months more then he'll turn on the Tigers. But then again.... should we pay attention at all? All that talent but not enough brains. For those wondering why no one has come up to Joe Torre's defense. Does anyone need to say anything? Sometimes the best thing to do is not to answer back. It has all the more exposed Sheffield's bad form. And Kenny Lofton..... time to hang it up. You should have done so back in the 90's.
