Please let Gary Sheffield keep talking about his
situation in Detroit. He already has manager Jim Leyland
"flabbergasted" and we all know how he can lose his shit at the drop of a cigarette butt. Sheff is pissed off again. Detroit is nowhere close to being a winner and he has to play DH . "I can be in the outfield and play every day. I don't want to DH. I don't feel like a baseball player ...

The Tigers season was hanging by a thread
last night. Most, including myself, had already dug their
grave and admitted that the 2008 Season was a colossal disappointment. But there was that small chance. That 1 in a million shot that the Twins and White Sox would both blow up and the Tigs would somehow manage a sweep this week.
