Sheffield is a steroid-injecting, racist moron.

[kittymyrib]

Hmmm...maybe baseball clubs are smarter than football teams, who have to wonder how many of their black players will be in jail during the season. Too bad Latin kids don’t learn to play football.

No love lost between the Blacks and the Latinos. I’m surprised we haven’t heard more about the amnesty bill from the usual race pimps.

[johnny7]

I wish they asked him about Hispanic women... LOL

[Condor51]

Sheffield has never played with psycho Carlos Zambrano of the Cubs.

And he should ask Cub catcher Michael Barret if he's 'controllable'. That is, after Barret gets out of the hospital.

[Huck]

but there ain't no English going to be coming out

chuckle

[Huck]

They’re too small.

[badpacifist]

People who get out of control often end up sitting on the bench for the team with the one piece orange uniform.

[MortMan]

Well, if “control” means having a talented ballplayer who follows orders, assisting the TEAM instead of only themselves, then what’s wrong with selecting players who are easier to “control”?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Too bad Latin kids don’t learn to play football.

Well, there's Tony Romo.

[AppyPappy]

Grab the popcorn

[subterfuge]

Shef simply proves that an idiot is too stupid to know he’s an idiot.

Stop it Gary, you’re embarrassing yourself.

[period end of story]

No love lost between the Blacks and the Latinos.

Latinos and Blacks must feel completely insulted by such a stupid remark by Sheffield.

It's just.....stupid.

[1rudeboy]

I don’t mean to sidetrack the thread, and I understand Zambrano is bigger than Barret, but shouldn’t it be embarassing for a catcher to have the snot knocked out of him by a pitcher?

[pissant]

Shef speaks english? Sounds like ebonics to me.

[NonValueAdded]

You would hope so but I shudder to think of the percentage that is saying “right on, bro.” Too many “leaders” have made it their business to keep the divide deep and wide. And I agree that Sheffield is full of used food.

[wmfights]

Major League Baseball has more Latin players than African-Americans

Could it be as simple as the talent pool being bigger? How much of a focus is there on baseball as opposed to football and basketball in the black community?

[Alberta's Child]

"What I called is that you're going to see more black faces, but there ain't no English going to be coming out."

Gotta laugh at this, since this statement barely qualifies as "English" in my book. LOL.

[period end of story]

I have a feeling that upon further explanation, he would sound like an even bigger idiot, and so on...
