Yes sir

halosfan · April 17, 2009 11:54AM

That blows.

123Slider · April 17, 2009 11:59AM

Justice would have been served had he got stuck on 499 forever. After what he did in Milwaukee, he will get no congrats from me.

stevek · April 17, 2009 12:00PM

Mets will lose tonight's game.

EchoCanyon · April 17, 2009 12:02PM

no they won't

BunchOBull · April 17, 2009 12:03PM

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

stevek · April 17, 2009 12:08PM

Let's go Mets - NOT

Ug - Phillies just blew a 6 run lead.

Screw the Mets and the Phillies..........GO BRAVES

Nobody wants to see the Braves make it to the playoffs again only to choke it away

grote15 · April 17, 2009 12:19PM

Nobody wants to see the Braves make it to the playoffs again only to choke it away

At this point, I'd be happy if the Mets made the playoffs before choking after the last two years...

<<< Texas Governor’s Secession Talk Stirs Furor

Gov. Rick Perry has touched off a political uproar by expressing sympathy for Texans who want to secede from the United States. His comments have made him a darling of conservative radio hosts, a butt of jokes on television talk shows and a target of criticism from state Democrats. >>>

Are you still going to root for a Texas team if they secede from the Union?

ElToroLoco · April 17, 2009 12:24PM

What did Sheffield do in Milwaukee?

grote15 · April 17, 2009 12:26PM

What did Sheffield do in Milwaukee?

He admitted intentionally making errors in the field to help him get out of town...

stevek · April 17, 2009 12:29PM

Phillies get 14 hits, had a 6 run lead, and blow the game.

Not a good omen.

EchoCanyon · April 17, 2009 12:34PM

TOLD you Mets would win

Dboneesq · April 17, 2009 12:35PM

<< Mets will lose tonight's game. >>

METS WIN! METS WIN! METS WIN! 5-4

PHILS WIN ... PHILS W ... UH ... OOPS ... NO THEY DON'T ... THEY BLEWWWWWWWWWW IT!

stevek · April 17, 2009 12:40PM

Tonight's games were bad - I need some Sam Adams medicine, and quickly.

Some interesting stuff on the weather channel right now.

stevek · April 17, 2009 12:48PM

interesting national waether forecast - all kinds of rain, etc going on out there.

stevek · April 17, 2009 12:50PM

forecasting dark, continuing dark, lightening up as daybreak begins....

Gonblott · April 17, 2009 12:54PM

WOOT

500! Congrats to Sheffield!

DavieJones · April 17, 2009 2:56PM

future hofer anyways,kind red of other team to get rid of him at 499,and stupid

RoarIn84 · April 17, 2009 3:39PM

yeah, congrats...... congrats on many of the steroid infested HRs, the deliberately blown plays, the arrogance, and the $30mil in Detroit for doing nothing.... i threw an all-out backyard bonfire grillout party when the Tigers released his worthless mug. the 'Shef' never makes it to the hall...... .....and with the D-Train and Todd Jones gone, we now stand a chance

DavieJones · April 17, 2009 3:46PM

lol-roar-thats half the guys in the 90s there if they ever get that list out

You left out that he's also a racist.

DeutscherGeist · April 17, 2009 5:09PM

Good job Gary....I never doubted this!

Shoulder surgery takes time to heal...last year was too soon to expect it to react optimally, but this year it should be healed and it sounds like it is. This is the road to more playing time and if Sheffield has more playing time, this will be a great season for him.

I wonder if his card prices spiked on ebay....wouldn't surprise me, though.

edit to add last statement

dude · April 17, 2009 6:27PM

future hofer anyways.......

Sorry to disappoint you, but not a chance.

DrJ · April 17, 2009 10:11PM

This guy is another Roids user. I find it funny there is not more out cry. Great stats but another player who will never make the HOF.

MBMiller25 · April 17, 2009 11:39PM

Amazing what a little juice will do for you!

Sheffield is a worthless turd. It's a shame he found a job and was given the chance to get #500.

It makes me even more angry that he got it against the team who drafted him, paid him, and gave him his chance...only for him to purposely tank plays to force a trade. If he would have actually played to his ability back in the day, we might have had a chance in our division. He wouldn't have helped with homers because he was a spray hitter back in the day. The roids gave him that.

RoarIn84 · April 18, 2009 7:12AM

he was funny back in the day. thought he might O.G. (over gold)!!!

nice teeth! pimpin ain't eazy!

Jeff85fan · April 18, 2009 7:44AM

Why Sheff gets the passes he does is beyond me. He was busted with the same exact stuff that Bonds was, but, even worse, he actually admitted quitting on a team and making errors on purpose to make a trade happen. But now, somehow, he gets his 500th home run and the clowns at ESPN are saying he's a hall of famer.

What? How is his using of steroids any less impactful than Sosa, Bonds, and McGwire? Because he never hit 60, 70 home runs in a year and isn't the all time leader, so he's enough under the radar that passes by the wayside? How is his altering games to force a trade not worse than Pete Rose betting on games as a manager? I don't get it...where is the consistency?

People in the media are scared to say that for fear of being called racists by Sheffield.

BPorter26 · April 18, 2009 10:13AM

That would be a lot of juice. Sheffield's a class act.

gumbyfan · April 18, 2009 10:48AM

Preschool?

all these years, i never noticed that before on his teeth

DeutscherGeist · April 19, 2009 1:40PM

Its good to see Sheffield in the line up more often now. His OPS is up at the level it should be already. Good numbers so far. Just keep it up and a wonderful season will sprout.

A761506 · April 19, 2009 3:17PM

Sheffield is a complete idiot. He is a racist, a bigot, and he can't play baseball anymore either.

I have never despised any professional athlete more than Sheffield and I doubt I ever will.

F--- him and his meaningless record. He has zero chance of making the HOF.
