The Empire Stikes Back

quote:

Coach May posted: Sheffield did exactly what he should have done and that is nothing.

Well, actually he picked the ball up, threw it to the infield, then ran back, squared up and punched the guy.

My take was that the guy was trying to knock the ball away from Sheffield and hit him in the face.

Was the pic to show Sheffield's anger or the "fan" tipping the beer over him?

I guess you've read Dirt Dogs on the subject --- this group of season ticket holders is (allegedly) notorious.

But it did take a lot of the heat off the umpiring on the night.

Dad04,

The photo you posted is Sheffield's initial reaction BEFORE he threw the ball back in. Afterwards he did square up with the guy, but did nothing.

DAD04

Sheffield never threw a punch

Chill pal !!!1

Only 4 exclamation points? What is Sheff doing in the picture?

Not what you think !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You really must HATE the Yankees.

I am not a Yankee fan but you have to give Sheffield props for being in control

Speaking of "empires"=-= what about those Mets!!!!!

I come by it honestly, genetics.

That is no reason to defame a player for his reactions in a tough situation--think of a guy coming over your desk at you--what will you do?

Those guys in ther stands should have their season tickets taken away for life--

Dad04...Just a minor correction. The picture you posted is BEFORE he threw the ball back in he shoved the guy. Then after he threw the ball he turned around and drew his fist back BUT thought about it and did not throw the punch.

Catfish

That's right. My bad. The "fan" Mr. House was way out of line and hopefully won't be let back in.

Just as long as he didn't hit my baby Bernie in the face...cause it would be ON!!

QUEEN

Did I see "your baby Bernie" hitting 9th--- is the lineup that good

early results....

Looks like I'm going to lose that bet about them winning 10 games. They have the look of a loser right now. Nothing a ten game winning streak wouldn't cure, but I'm not seeing it.

On the other hand,I'm winning that bet on schilling. He's not winning 18 games.

How much longer does Joe Torre have before he is exiled??? And he will be exiled --George doesn't fire his managers--he gives them another position within the organization--exile

I feel for Torre -one of my favorite baseball people--he is so good at handling the EMPEROR

Loved all the changes yesterday and the the 17 Million Dollar Arm gives up 6 runs in the first inning

Tonight the BIG UNIT cannot go-- sore leg--is the DL loomimg ??

And a second baseman with no arm in left field !!!

Go Orioles !!!! and Mazzilli is their MGR___ can we all say IRONIC !!!!

Stick a fork in 'em.
