Newsflash! Gary Sheffield is not happy again.

It appears that Gary Sheffield is just not happy again in his present situation. Will this man ever find peace?

Per Larry Brooks of the New York Post (yea, I know it is a tabloid but I seriously doubt that he made up these quotes), Sheffield advised that he does not expect to finish the season in a Mets uniform.

"Based on what I know, no, I do not think I will be here. But if I am sent to a team that I don't want to play for, I would go home."

"I have to look at everything. People always say they are going to do the right thing for you, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. If I don't take care of myself, who will? That's what I focus on."

"I'd go to a team where they already have (a strong lineup). I don't want to go someplace where I would be seen as the guy who would make the difference, because if that didn't happen, then it would be blamed on me."

"I've never played in a hitters' ballpark. Put me in Yankee Stadium right now and you're talking about 50 home runs."

Obviously, this is pretty corrosive stuff considering that he is saying these things in the middle of the clubhouse but we have seen this from him before. I don't even have a clue as to his specific complaint this time but I do know that he always seems to be complaining.

What a ray of sunshine!

Isn't there a local Optimist Club that could help him? If he is not open to that, maybe schedule an A & E-style intervention or something. Lure him to a hotel by telling him that a reporter will be there to speak to him about writing a book outlining all of his grievances in life. Once he is there, pounce on him, give him your tearful pleas to change and then offer therapy. If he says no, well at least you tried.

Just trying to help.
