Two Gary Sheffield posts in one day. Hey, someone's got to do this!
Per Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Gary Sheffield today asked for a contract extension and this was refused by the Mets. He then threatened to leave the team and the Mets then pulled him from the lineup as you can't play someone who is in a taxi. In the end, he stayed (sounds just like Sheffield with these bombastic empty threats) and struck out as a pinch hitter in the 8th inning. (I did not see the at-bat but he better not have been called out "looking".) Apparently on his way out of the stadium, he said, "I'm done."
I bet he comes back. This guy is just not right. At 40 years old and with the injuries to Beltran and Delgado, he is the primary clean-up hitter with the Mets. He should be happy but he is sulking. Very tiresome. I discipline my kids for stuff like this.
Remember that intervention I referred to in the earlier post today before all of this happened? We need that like NOW! Fly these professionals in who do this kind of thing. No time to waste.
Come on. Help this guy out in his time of need.

He's going to be a sweetheart when he's in the nursing home.
But he "could hit 50 HR" in another stadium! The Mets are crazy not to extend him. They should give him 20 million per, with another 5 in incentives, for the next decade. THEN it's sure that his supreme talent will take then right to the WS.
I can't believe you were able to post twice about him without Sheff spouting off about he's a HOFer.
Now that you mention it, Sheffield is right. Pay him what he wants and give him a long-term extension. Too much money is just not enough for him. Open the vault. After his playing days are over, he gets a lifetime services contract too. He is a God among men and should be duly rewarded for that.
I take back everything I said.
